    Hello,

    Sorry for my 1st question to be such a bore, but I didn't realize how complex finding a simple part could be. I have a 2002 SR5 and I just bought some OEM wheels from someone on Offerup. One of the wheels is missing the center piece of the hubcap and I'm trying to replace it. It would probably be easier if I could just buy the center piece by measurement, but all I've seen for sale are the entire hubcap.

    Apparently I need the VIN number since there are 8 different versions that may work, and I don't have the VIN of the guy who sold them to me. I took a chance and ordered one off ebay, but it didn't fit. The wheels are 16" off a 2006 SR5. Wondering if there is a way to get the right part without a VIN, and that isn't crazy expensive. I've attached a couple o' pics, thx! 5.jpg

    Can you post a pic of the full wheel and what the center piece looks like from the front?

    Also, dumb question maybe, but is there any sort of number stamped on the inside of the caps you do have?

    Thx for sending this! I had ordered one on ebay last week that had the same description and said it would fit, but it was about 1/4" too wide when I received it. This is part of my dilemma, buying on-line and having to send stuff back. I spoke to my toyota dealer today and he said without a VIN, he couldn't tell me which cap would fit, and there are apparently 8 different ones.
