You might be thinking, E90 why do you want a Corolla hubcap you don’t own a Toyota. That would be correct, in fact, the car is driven by my girlfriend, who lost a hubcap back in July. I can find them on eBay, but they’re a bit more than I want to pay. After a bit of a cursory search, that seems to be the best option. I had one in my hand at the junkyard, but it was cracked, so I passed on it. Considering she’s had this car since 2011, this isn’t a frequent event. If anyone knows where I could get a cheap replacement or has one randomly lying around, let me know.
Right now the plan is to try and find one in the junkyard, unless a decently priced one pops up on ebay.

I’m sure there is one in a mall parking lot somewhere.

The third option is to find one on the side of the road.

Junkyard is probably your best option. If it is a newer Corolla, you could always replace all of them at once if you find any car with good ones that fit. Just make sure to measure the diameter and count the lugs before you leave.

Alternatively, you could take all the hubcaps off and paint the wheels white or something.

Quit trying to tart up steelies and let your steelie flag fly, loud and proud.
A set of actual alloy wheels in this size might be easier to find at a junkyard, and probably don’t cost much. Probably like $100 for the wheels and $40 to swap all the tires.

I don’t know if the link will work but this site is good. Searches junkyards, looks like a lot of cheap hubcaps.

Give it some time, maybe once she finishes residency she can buy herself something nicer.

2011, bolt patter shouldn’t matter as I don’t think anything but the rim attaches. The bolts are completely obscured by the hub cap.
