LE owners out there, have you tested the MPG differences with and without the hubcaps?

    I think this looks really sweet and I may do this myself on my 2025 LE. Can you state exactly who you got the caps from, how much they cost and what difficulties you had with getting them in place and what solutions you did to get this done? Thanks.

    The caps were $42 each. Discount tire gave me one so I only had to buy 3. They are for the Camry and other of the larger diameter wheels (above 18 inch) The outside diameter (part you can see) is 2.5 inch but the ones I got were listed as 2 3/8 diameter. DO NOT try to hammer them on. Compress the tabs with a blade screwdriver in the middle of the 3 tab group of which there are 4 on each cap. Once those 4 are in the place where they snap, then using the same screwdriver push on the cap (with your hand) and push the two outer tabs until they pop in place.
    You can search the net for late Camry sets of 4 and they offer refurbished ones for less money.
    If you don't care about the logo then you can probably find them much cheaper, or you could just make one and glue it in place.
