See my post here: New Part# for TRD Center Caps

HTH

That link goes to PTR18-30471. Is that the correct part, not PTR45-30471?

New Part# for the more durable Made in China Center Cap is PTR18-34071.

I have ordered them in the past from Amazon, but they are no longer available there, so I ordered a set from Toyota Parts Deal at the above link.

You'll get an email in the next day or two asking for a VIN#.

I'll owe you a beer if I do; but you can owe me one if I don't

I just ordered a set of 4 center caps here: Toyota Parts Deal

I ordered some from TPD this morning and here is the e-mail I received a few moments ago:

>Thank you for ordering parts with us.
>We are writing to inform you that order CT288900 has been voided. Your order has been voided because of the following reason(s): The ordered part(s) have been >discontinued (no longer available) and/or is backordered with no ETA date by the manufacture.

Did you order Part# PTR18-34071?

Here's what I see when I check my order status:

I'm just waiting for the email confirming shipping.

Don't understand why you are having a problem...

Yep, that is the part number I ordered and had cancelled. Maybe you placed your order before me and cleared out that last of what they had on hand.

Just to be safe, I reordered it 5 minutes ago and will update if the order is cancelled again.

I suppose it's possible I got some of the last ones - I placed my order yesterday morning.

Well my second order was cancelled for the same reason as the first. "Out of stock, back ordered and no ETA."

Shoulda done it yesterday when I saw your post.

My 5 caps just came in , some dealers have them on there site as discontinued .

 

[EPUro2019]

Mine are faded and could be replaced. It doesn't bother me so at least for now I'm going to ignore them. But I wonder what other options there are to keep them on and just resurface/repaint? I'd like a do it once and be done with it solution. I'd love for a forged center cap that matches and never needs any work. A pipe dream for sure.

 

[CharlieS]

I wonder if you covered a set of the new ones with a paint protection film if it would help them stay nice looking for longer? The set I had were oxidized and faded, so I just replaced them. The truck looked a lot better without the corroded center caps.

 

[Cruisin911]

The caps look great when new. I'm on my 4th set for my RWs. They simply don't last. Disappointing for sure, given how much Toyota wants to charge now for a RW wheel. Wonder if I can powder coat them and maybe they'll last longer?

Here's what your old one looked like when new (Left), and what a new one with the new Part# looks like (Right):

The new ones appear to be much more robust than the old ones.

As far as your idea of coating these, even the newer ones, probably won't do any harm and could very well help. My suggestion would be some automotive clear coat like this:

I've used it on badges and such with some success.

I bought a set of 5. Still looking for the wheels though. Lol

 

[EPUro2019]

Sorry for the stupid question:

The only way to change these is to remove the wheel, correct?

 

[CharlieS]

I removed mine without taking the wheels off, but it was destructive. I was replacing them anyway so I didn't care.

Correct.

thanks! Mine look bad but I'm not ready to take the wheels off to change them. I'd love a permanent fix. Thanks!
