    Is anyone out there aware of center caps that would work on Prius C stock steel wheels? Thanks in advance for any replies.

    I'm interested too, for our Prius hatchback.

    Honda used to have sensible, silver painted and clearcoated steel rims with push-on center caps. They cupped over the center protrusion of the rim, friction fit.

    Cops in their Crown Vic's seem to have it down pat, a nice little chromed cap on just the center portion of black rims, covers both the hub opening and the lug nuts.

    The horror:

    I too painted the ugly hub and put on chrome lugs but would really like a center cap. Yaris owners have used a dust cap from the napa balkamp catalog but not sure they fit a prius c since the center bores are different. I'm going to find out though.

    Part number 730-2411

    I can't post links yet.

    Got the napa part 730-2411 grease caps. They fit over the steel hub snug and I tapped them on with a rubber mallet. Went for a ride to the car wash and I suspect they're on until I take them off. At about $11 for a set of 4, I got 2 sets.

    I would like to give credit to the original poster of these caps from a yaris forum, but I have to have 5 posts before I can put a link so this is 3.

    5th post I also obviously put on chrome lugs, my pop had a set but they would have been worth buying.
