OEM 16" Wheel Covers

[zzzion]

Hey guys, I was looking through some old posts and noticed a set of 4 OEM 16" wheel covers were sold for $70 last/2 winters ago..does anyone know where they can be picked up and the cost of them? Thanks!

Dealership? Last time when I changed oil I checked price at MoT parts dep - runs close to $100 plus it might not fit some aftermarket steel rims...

I have an extra set of 16" OEM wheel covers sitting in my pile of "stuff to sell someday"............ they are the ones with the middle most filled and with vent things around the edge........ if that's the sort you are after PM me, maybe we can work something out.......

I'm actually looking for the 2010 GX wheel covers, but thanks in advance! I will call the dealers a little later on for the quotes.

I'm considering picking up a set of these wheel covers too, to put on my winters... Rather look stock than run bare steelies, and I'd rather not use cheesy-looking snap-on aftermarkets...

Does anyone know the price?

[Fuyuzora]

Somehow, I managed to miss Sochi's reference to the price at MOT - ~$100.

And since I can't edit my post, I'm forced to make another reply. Gah.

Sorry folks.

They are on sale at Avante Mazda for $67. They will give you a further discount of about 10% if you tell them you are a member.

Any Mazda dealer should have got there shipment of winter OE hubcaps in by now and the price should be in the range of $60 for a set of 4. If they are selling them higher than that then try another dealer or offer them $60 for them and see what they say. If I remember correctly at $60 the dealer is still making $10-$15 on a set, and the more they have in stock the more willing they try to get rid of them because once January comes they don't sell anymore and stuck with them until the next year.

Awesome, thanks for the info. Glad to hear they're not going to be quite as expensive as I was afraid they are.

Thanks for the info on the discount at Avante as well, unfortunately it won't do me much good as I'm in Ottawa. :(

There are a lot of forum members in the Ottawa area I'm sure some of the Ottawa dealerships must have a TM3 discount

My winter tires finally arrived, and I went to install the factory covers I picked up on them... The covers don't fit on my steelies. FML.

Think I can figure out an alternate system of securing them for the winter? Or should I try to get the dealership to take them back?

I really hate running bare steelies in the winter though... :(

Where did you get the steelies? Got mine from Costco and not sure if the wheel covers fit yet.
The dealership will probably take it back but minus a 20% "stocking fee".

Got 'em from a local tire shop here in Ottawa. Dunno who their supplier is, but while they're proper hub-centric steelies, they clearly vary a bit in design from the Mazda spec.

Going to give them a stab again tomorrow, if I can't get them to work I guess it's back to Mazda they go.

You're probably right about the restocking fee - kind of annoying, but would be better than being stuck with a set of useless covers.

Try selling on kijiji or something...could prob recoup what you paid.
