    I lost one of my hubcaps on my 2010 Prius today, just wondering how much a new one should cost. I'm hoping not more than about $50?

    Is stealing prius hubcaps common? I 've had my prius for only 5 months and 1 was stolen. Went to the dealership today and was quoted $107 CDN for a replacement.

    Theft of Prius hubcaps is not that common. However, it seems that Prius automobiles have a chronic problem of losing hubcaps. My advise is to go naked. The alloy wheels look beautiful without them.

    Ya, I bought a replacement at my Toyota Dealer for 81 and change with CA tax. Thought it was a bit pricy, but its been over a year and I only lost that one.

    In fact, a large number of Prius owners don't want them either. So there should be plenty of barely used ones for sale, cheap.

    You can find a lot of them on eBay. You can often find a set of 4 unused or low mileage for less than a dealer charges for one.
