Post by: jo3y1nf4nt3 on October 06, 2008, 11:31:33 pm
well, i accidentally ran over my hub cover...the part that has the lug holes that goes on before the wheel does.  anyone know where i can find some replacements online?  i've tried but i guess i'm not naming them correctly.  thanks.

i'd like to get replacements for all of them.  the discount tire store here got tore up pretty bad with that hurricane so they're closed.  i'm not sure who to ask besides ya'll for the moment.  thanks.

Those are called center caps. You need to measure the diameter of the opening in the wheel from the back side. Be exact with your measurements and then look on eBay.

You could also try the wheel manufacturer.

i have no idea!!! other than i see them on just about every vehicle around here.  anyways, they came with some red SS stickers so i'm pretty sure they're aftermarket.  also, online i just see the caps.  well, the ones i have have flanges on the bottom side of the cap where they fit up against the rotor.  would i need it so the cap won't slip out or rattle about?  i'm kinda not wanting my cap to roll down the road.

Wheel Manufacturers change their Centers depending on their Wheel Series, so the same Manufacturer may not have those available.....  Best bet, would be to take one of your Centers down to a Local Wheel Shop, and they will get you a similar/generic replacement(s) If not better looking ones....
