Suggestions/Help with wheel center cap (3gen) - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I spotted a half decent set of stock LE/XLE rims at a You-pull-it, but I'm hesitant to pull them because none of them have their center wheel caps. I'm also hesitant because the dealership wants to charge me $50/cap!

So I'm looking for help before any decisions are made. Are there any compatibility issues with the caps? Like a range of years for the caps that would fit? Assuming the disabled Camry was like a '92-'95, can I select a cap from some other Toyota rim? I've spotted this nice store on ebay (which are probably the people who took those damned caps from the junkyard!) So is compatibility an issue here? Any ideas what the part number for the caps is or any sources aside from ebay for me to grab some new caps?

What wheels are you talking about, these?

Well, I've seen the center caps for the wheel that I posted on eBay numerous times. It's always been one at a time though, so you'd probably have to watch eBay pretty religiously to pick up 4 of them. I'm not sure about the part number, but if you can come up with it, this site is usually substantially cheaper than my dealer.

EDIT:

This page actually shows the part. Apparently it's $36.90, so still not a great deal. Sorry about that.

What's really sad is that they want $254 for one of those wheels. Yikes!!

How much are they asking for them at the junk yard?

I like both of the alloy wheels that were available on the Gen3.

you shouldn't let the lack of center caps stop u from getting an inexpensive set of OE rims. I bought a set of es300 rims with only 2 center caps for a you-pull-it for like 110. dirt cheap right? hell yea. my logic is, I'm not gonna pass up a deal like this just because I'm missing center caps.

BTW, I am still looking for 2 95 ES300 center caps, so if any of you got a lead, let a brother know.

Have you tried car-part.com? I was able to find a new airflow meter that i needed for my car within 5 minutes.

Here's one now...

I checked the part number on one of my center caps and this is the right part...
