Default 4 Center wheel caps for 15" Gen3

Do you have any not being used? I'll take them. From what I read, other years' models will work too. Let me know what you have.

In case no one does have any for sale, parts.com has them cheaper than most places...

2006 Toyota Prius Center cap - Parts.com


Good luck, I hope someone does have some for you!

Yes, I've seen those. I think it's like $40 for all. I'd seen them and thought they looked kinda cheap, like fake shiny chrome type and figured it'd be different with OEMs... perhaps not?

Those are the Gen II OEM 15" wheel center caps (there are no Gen III OEM center caps).

They're chromed plastic, but I think they still look great on the car. I doubt very much that they'd look appreciably better if they were chromed metal.

Chromed metal is an endangered species. Check out even the luxury brands --- Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, Lexus, et al --- most, and oftentimes all, of the chrome trim is chromed plastic.

Interesting. Thanks for that info. I just thought the ones from parts.com looked cheesy so that's why I hadn't ordered them. Now I know.
