Replacing Center Caps??

[shaunmp5]

Excuse my automotive ignorance, but I have a question.

I'm thinking of putting the Lexus IS300 rims on the P5. However, I think it would look really lame to have the Lexus "L" on a Mazda car. I also think it looks foul to not have center caps at all. So, my question is: Can I replace the center caps? Is it a "universal fit" thing?

Thanks for your replies.

You can replace them, but it may be hard to find the right diameter of the center cap...

I was able to recycle my Mazda ones...they pop out of your stock rims and (possibly) into your new ones. Give 'em a little poke with a screwdriver handle.

Thanks guys!

I found a couple of places that sell generic center caps with various diameters.

can you let me know what shops sell the center caps. i'm looking for some myself....70mm diameter ..thx

Yeah, DBR, I'll let you know. I may have spoken prematurely, though, as I'm taking the word of a co-worker about some local shops. I'll have to go and investigate for myself. I'll look for the 70mm and keep you updated.

not sure if this is what you're looking for:

part #99-9800, seems a bit pricey.

the whole list of OEM mfrs is here:

i think i'll just scroll thru all the OEM center cap specs til i find my 70mm.

fortunately i found a generic cap for $5. sure beats an OEM one for $20.

Update!

Just an update:

The Lexus "L" pops right off of the centercap, but leaves two small holes. I went to www.Edecals.com and ordered some silver vinyl 2" centercap stickers with black Mazda logos. Looks sweet!!!!

I'll try and post some pics.
