Exclamation Need center caps for 17" Acura steel winter rims.

Couple weeks ago I've purchased 2010 TL SH-AWD. At the same time I got the 17" silver steel rims and winter tire package from the dealer. I was really surprised when the dealer told me that the center caps are not included with the package. Naturally, I asked if they have them in stock. They did, but the price was $45 each!!! The rim was $72 each and the center cap $45??? I will not pay this much for these. Does anyone know if there are generic center caps and where to get them? Thanks for your help in advance.

Wow - I didn't even know there was a steel tire package for the 4G tl. I'm guessing any center cap should be able to fit, but not sure where to get them.

Try eBay. I saw a bunch of them before when I did a search.

BTW, I think that if the total would cost you just over $100, you can even get some decent alloy wheels from Tire Rack at that price. That dealer sounds really suspicious to me....

Pete2010 - it seems that the center cap for steel rim is different than the regular alloy wheel one.
The steel tire package is for winter tires only and this is a dealer in Canada so I don't know if it is offered in the US.

ostirch - I thought the same thing you suggested - to go with alloy rims instead of the steel ones, but I already have the steel rims and tires. I needed these ASAP as they were calling for a lot of snow here when I bought the car and I didn't want to get any salt on the OEM rims.
I will visit the dealer to see this $45 center cap and I will try to source from eBay. I just need to know what to look for.

Pete2010 / ostirch - Thanks for your help!

rafcio53, the dealer in Halifax says that you cannot get steel rims for the 4G TL SHAWD (Obviously wrong). They only offer a $3000+ wheel package that includes another set of OEM rims. What are the specs for them. I really need to get a set.

Sugi, steel rims are available here in Toronto at every Acura staelership. These are 17" and these cost me about $80 each. Don't belive stealerships, they just want to push out what they have. It would be cheaper for you to get these shipped from here with tires and tpms for about $1600. You could also check Quebec as it would be closer to you to ship. They should have these too.

I know that this is a really old post so I am going to put in an answer as I had googled the same question when I bought the 17" steel rims for my CPO Acura TL 2009. In this case, I bought a Honda Ridgeline center cap instead of the Acura center cap. I just want the centers covered.
