Replacing hubcaps for 2010 Toyota Matrix?

Asagi T

What happens was I drove to work one day, and some a-hole stole one of them, and I would like to replace it. I called the dealers, and they are charging $90 for one hubcap!! That is too much money for me. I know nothing about cars, so I am wondering if anyone knows if I could replace hubcaps on a 2010 Toyota Matrix with generics ones that I could purchase much cheaper from wal-mart or something.















Any info. would be much appreciated!!!































Thanks,

Yep just get the wheel size and you can replace them with whatever.

First $90 for one hubcap is just ridiculous, I have heard of hubcaps costing 60-70 bucks, but not $90. All it is is a molded piece of plastic.































You have many options here. One option is to drive around with three on. I see people with three on all of the time. Second you can take the other 3 off and drive without them. Hubcaps are not needed and they do very little to protect your lug nuts from water and dirt. It doesn't bother me to see a car without hubcaps on. Most of the time I like it, but that is just me. Third you can get a set of 4 hubcaps at your local K-Mart, Wal-Mart, or auto parts store. All you need to know is the size of your tire. If your tire is 15 inches, then you will need 15 inch hubcaps. The ones they sell at the auto parts stores are better quality then than the ones at K-Mart and Wal-Mart. The ones at K-Mart and Wal-Mart won't cost you more than $25 plus tax. The ones at the auto parts stores cost around $25-50 for a set. Just get a set of 4 silver hubcaps that you like. All you have to do is line it up with the valve stem and it snaps right on (takes about 5 minutes to do all 5). I advise you to stay away from chrome hubcaps because they look really cheap and tacky. I went through this and people just made fun of them and laughed. I had them on a 2004 Impala. Fourth, you can look for hubcaps on craigslist.org and ebay.com. Sometimes you can find a really cheap set of hubcaps on craiglist.org and they might even be the original ones. Good Luck.
