Those silver toyota centercaps on the steelies are way cool. I just got a set of 4 off ebay for 60 bucks. Now I can do some steelies up in argent silver without chrome trim rings.

Default Cheap center cap solution for 4x100 Steelies

Hello, I don't own a Scion, but I run Scion steelies on my corolla. I think I discovered a cool and cheap center cap solution for the 4x100 Scion steelies. not too many Corolla guys run wheels like this, but I thought maybe you Scion guys might appreciate this. Here they are.



They come from a Saturn S series like this:



These also work too and have a slightly different shape.



You'll have to get the lug nuts too because they have an external thread meant for mounting the center caps to. Also you'll probably have to get another size lug wrench for when you get a flat because I think the hex size is different than what toyota uses normally. Best part is that they only cost $3 ea at the Pick N Pull. When they process the cars at PNP, they take off alloy wheels and sell them separately but lucky for me they always take the center cap off and throw them in the car. I went to a yard and was picking and choosing the best ones out of couple dozen caps!

Here they are on the car. I wish the car looked as good as the wheels do!

Can someone help me find out how to mount these center caps? I came across a set and would like to put them on my steelies but there's no hub for the cap to grip? Sure would like some info.

I've tried alot of different things but i think the older 80's celica small center caps might work. They were held on by the lugs so it will hold and I think fill that center. I just haven't found one to try. Let me know if you try.

I've come by these center caps - but they don't just 'mount'. Anyone know how I can get them to work with stock 2006 steelies?

You might need to use special lugs with oversized rubber washers on them.
The other caps that don't have holes mount using the edge of the center hole on the wheels.
