    Bought my first Prius and didn't care for the wheel covers. So I ditched them and found that I really like the stock black wheels hidden underneath. However, the hub is exposed. So I ordered a set of cheapo eBay hub covers and I think they look pretty stinking good.

    Originally I wanted to paint them black but I think they go well as is. All for a whopping $8/shipped!

    I think that was the first thing I started with. What are you planning next?

    That's a great price! At that price, Lowes and Home Depot are going to lose sales on those knockout plugs. ;)

    Not sure what to do next. The budget is tight. But I'd like to get the sway bar for better handling. I still like to do some spirited driving even though the feedback from the car is a bit muted.

    Haha! Burna J, believe me I know all about that! And my wife is quick to remind me. Lol!

    I was a riceboy in a former life with my '99 Integra. I liked the sleeper look so I did all engine and suspension stuff for road courses when I got the chances to go. Lots of fun! But I had to sell it to pay for my move from Texas back home to Cali. :(

    It was the first and last time I've seen a whole set for $8. No one bid on it but me so I got lucky. But look up eBay seller "love-winner" He has some for $10.99/set right now.

    Here is a set that I ordered from Amazon. Okay, I can't post a link, but here is the item title, "4 x 55mm Dia Truck Car Hood Emblem Wheel Center Hub Caps Covers Silver." Or you can search Amazon by their ASIN "B00EZJHM4Y" They are just simple blank caps I paid $8.52, with free Prime shipping.

    There are due to arrive today, so I cannot attest to their quality. I am glad that shipping would only take two days, rather than weeks coming from Hong Kong.

    Here is a shot of the center cap. Overall it is a good match to the paint color and it snapped in securely. You will want to take care not to press in too quickly or you may push it in too far. These are very basic, but the color matches, and they could easily be painted. I would purchase them again.
    Also, my apologies for my car being so filthy.
