Car Forum / Toyota / Camry / January 2007wheel covers
For those with steel wheels, and who ever had to replace the stock wheel covers, have you found any aftermarket ones that are as good as Toyota parts? I've tried a couple types, either from Pep Boys, Advance Auto, Auto Zone, etc., and they seem to only last 2-3 years before cracking. My stock ones lasted several, and on my wife's car they lasted until she sold it, over 11 yrs later. I don't know how much the Toyota ones are but perhaps they're worth it? > For those with steel wheels, and who ever had to replace the stock wheel > covers, have you found any aftermarket ones that are as good as Toyota [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > I don't know how much the Toyota ones are but perhaps they're worth it? My 99 Camry came with crap plastic covers. When 1 was lost, I had to pay about $60, compared to nearly $100 at the dealer's. > My 99 Camry came with crap plastic covers.

A hole in the wall hubcap specialty shop here in Edmonton. They are made of plastic. Plastic is softer than concrete curbs. No, they are cheap looking and suck, suck suck. Wheel covers should be made out of some kind of metal. I have had good luck replacing mine via ebay. I had two of my stock ones break in teh last 9 years and each time kept checking ebay and found them pretty quick. Good luck Jeff > For those with steel wheels, and who ever had to replace the stock wheel > covers, have you found any aftermarket ones that are as good as Toyota [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > I don't know how much the Toyota ones are but perhaps they're worth it? >I have had good luck replacing mine via ebay.

Instead of plastic that gets brittle and cracks, you could get these: http://www.hubcapmike.com/racing_disc_wheelcovers.html I got some for my xB for 85 bux a set (plus shipping, but still under a hundred) and I really like them. They are not too likely to crack and they're VERY easy to clean! -Don (no affiliation with Mike's; just a happy customer) -- I wish the buck stopped here; I could use a few |
