Alloy wheel hub centre

[Lucy Greene]

Hello

In the last six months I've spent £60 on Alloy Wheel hub centre's for my car. They keep breaking or more likely being stolen.

Is there any way to stop thieves removing these centre caps ?

I've been paying £20 a time for toyota originals  does anyone know how I can get some cheaper.

Many thanks

Buy 2 part epoxy and glue the inside part of it. I doubt you will have any reason to take it off anyway.

Do you mean hub caps aka wheel trims if so clear cable ties do the trick

No, she said the alloy wheel hub centers, the small plastic ones. You don't really need to remove them anyway, so i would glue them.

I would not glue them !! come time for new tyres or a puncture they will have to be removed to balance the wheel, either someone is stealing them or the clips a being broken off them

Thank you everyone. They type of centres I need cost £22 on eBay. I called Toyota who inform me that there are 18 different centers for the aygo/yaris in 2014 alone.

The part number for mine is 42603YY080   Do you know if I can buy non genuine toyota ones cheaper ?

[furtula]

Just buy the cheap ones, it's just a cosmetic piece anyway.

[furtula]

Just measure the ones you have, or just the empty hole, and get the same size. Part number does not tell me much..

It's just a cosmetic piece, if it's the same size it should fit fine, i would still glue them if your area has issue with people stealing them.

that's a ridiculous price and isnt even listed for the aygo on the epc or on megazip

 

i will have another look

edit. it is listed for pre 05/2014 cars, i can confirm the part by your vin if you PM me
