    Spray some Plasidip on them and call it a day.

    $6 at Lowes and Home Depot in the locked up aerosol paint cabinet

    Lookin to pull the covers off too, but am wondering what the need is for the center caps? Is it just for looks or is there a need for them?

    If ur asking about the plastic covers, they help with air flow. If its the center caps, just for looks

    I could have sworn I saw this Prius in Lake Forest yesterday.

    I think the wheel and cap combo look strikingly good with that silver.

    anyone know what size to get in mm? I am powdercoating my stock wheels this week and need to find some black center caps, I found these but I'm not sure which size to get.

    Apparently electric box knockout plugs fit perfectly and are $.59 apiece.

    Wish I'd thought to search or somebody told me before I bought the factory caps.

    My 2010 wheels are silver from the factory, I'd rather have black. My vette has black wheels and I think they look mean. I guess the Prius is not really a mean looking car though...

    I really like that look on our cars...now that I see a bigger pic of it, it looks like he's not even running center caps on the stock wheels......

    Hmmm. Any idea what they are? They look pretty close to the stock wheels.

    They look like RPF01's...they do look similar to OEM but the giveaway is the decreased sidewall of the tire. looks more like a 45 or 50 than the 195/65 thats stock
