Default Plastic Wheel Rivets

I have a 1 piece set of rims that I'm getting redone. new paint, lip, etc. but i can't find rivets to replace the old ones. They are just plastic ones glued on. Does anyone know where I can find them online? I've gone to a few tire and rim shops and they don't have any. I have 18" Image rims

it seems like you didn't know how these rims were built. You cannot replace those rivets because they are NOT rivets. It's just an imitation from how 3 or 2 piece wheels look like.

Yes but maybe not the OE wheel manufacture ones

I know Sportmax/XXR wheels had issues with theirs not being glued in good and gave out replacements to wheel owners. Also some of the TRD/scion option wheels had same issues and you can buy replacements. try calling/e-mail the factory and ask their customer support. If no then maybe purchase one TRD replacement to see if they fit and do them all.

Wow, plastic fake wheel rivets, really? Why try and replace them, just eliminate them and move on.

those aren't even rivets. they just LOOK like rivets. No glue on or anything unless it's a 2 or 3 piece wheel as mentioned before.
