Steelies dust center cap - Toyota Yaris Forums

SimTronik · 10-20-2010, 04:48 PM

Hi, after searching in so many places and on ebay... can't find the center caps for steelies like the image below.

If its available in your area and you can buy me four of them, i could pay you via paypal. Would be much apreciated.

I found this: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWNX:IT but not sure it will work.

That is YAR1S's car. She got them at NAPA. They do require a little modification to fit.

yeah. case close i finally got a napa guy willing to search instead of telling me that they sell no wheel so they dont have part like that.

That's because they are trailer hub grease caps. The two closest sizes are 1.980" and 2.44", which are too small and too large. I believe that the people who have used them bought the 1.980" ones and wrapped the insert end with tape to make them fit. The Yaris bore is 54.1mm, which is just shy of 2.25".

Here's an example of the trailer hub grease caps:

No. Those look like they are for something very specific, but the only way you could mount them to your steelies is to somehow glue them on.
