Order center caps from Enkei for the RS1.0 tC...it actually just has the Enkei logo and is the same size. Pop the old ones out and put the new ones in. I know most centercaps dont cost more then like 6 bucks a piece for ones like that.

The center caps come off, so just remove them. I'm sure some other stock center caps will fit, but you might need to try a couple different ones.

Remove the wheel then push the cap out from behind. They're just held in with springy plastic tabs. Whoever is buying the wheels wouldn't really need caps, or he can check with a dealer parts department or loacl wheel shop and see what he can find.

Go to a vinyl shop and have them make a vinyl centercap overlay. You could even have them do it with a logo of his choice or the logo for his car.

one of my damn middle scion caps came off, the little springy things broken an all. This happened when I took it to walmart for rotation and the guys said it just poped off when they were removing the tire. Walmarts fault or whatever...i'm thinking about just removing all of them to be CAPLESS.
