2003 Corolla Wheel Covers

[Milton]

Recently I lost a wheel cover on my 2003 Corolla and while looking for a replacement I am finding the prices a little steep.I have noticed that auto parts stores carry replacement wheel covers that are actually less expensive for an entire set than for a single original.What brand of replacement wheel covers are the best ?

Aftermarket plastic wheel covers are substandard to OEM.Some are downright ****. After you remove them and reinstall a few times,the retaining tabs will distort or break off,and the wheel cover will not stay on the vehicle. They are cheap to buy and poorly built. Ebay is usually a good place to buy a single oem wheel cover reasonably.

Any auto salvage yards around you? Should be around $5-10 there.

Take off the other three and drive it like you stole it.

Try calling these people:

Billy's Wheels & Caps
Hub cap supplier in West Valley City, Utah
Address: 1277 3300 S, West Valley City, UT 84119
Phone: (801) 972-6000

There was an even better source in Murray, UT, "Hub Cap Tony", but they are closed now.

Breakaway500 is correct, the after-market wheel covers sold for $25-40 a set are garbage! Don't wast your money.

pawngal is correct, try a salvage yard. They won't be as cheap as she says, usually about 50% of new from the dealer, but still far cheaper. Guess it depends on how bad you want to replace it!

Thanks everybody for the help! I was afraid that the answer was gonna be that the Wal-Mart stuff was garbage.
I will try the Utah business.I also was directed to a local place called" Hubcap Annies",I'll try them first.
