Too expensive for a wheel cover question

[pb1216]

I have one missing wheel cover on my 1999 toyota camry. I've been search on eBay and most of them are between $30-40. Is this expensive or a good deal?

[nicedudenicedreams]

I bought some oem wheels for my 2001 for $40 each. Hubcaps are getting too expensive so I made the switch. Lol.

$30-$40 is a bit much for one OEM cover but still beats the dealerships.

You can get a set of 4 wheels covers for $17-$40 at Walmart, Autozone, etc. (But makes the vehicle looks plain) If there's a good slavage yard around; a single wheel cover should cost about $5-$15.

if you want an OEM hubcap, try a local junk yard.

The quality on those is iffy. A friend of mine bought some and it only took a few months for them to fall apart...
