Centre Wheel Cap broke off... glue? take all off? buy wher?

Postby solo22 » Thu Nov 09, 2006 2:21 am

Had a wheel cap from my 99 break off, plastic is brittle, I guess they're all gunna go soonish. The little clips on the inside broke.

Super glue them? Anybody done this?

Or take them all off? Ugly? Hmm

Anybody know where to get these? Price?

A day driving around wreckers methinks.

Don't superglue them because when you get a wheel balance the tyre fitter puts his bits though that hole... :oops: :shock:

I think you'll find them hard to get from a wrecker. He's not going to want to be trying to sell wheels without the centre caps that he just sold to you. Mazda sell them and I paid about $8 for the one I got. But I've heard of others paying a lot more for theirs through Mazda dealers. Might be wise to check a few dealers for differences in prices.
