Question Where to find center caps for alloy wheels?

I just got a set of 16" alloy wheels from a coworker who put new wheels on his Xterra. It's great, because I have 15" steel wheels on my Frontier, so these should really improve the look of my truck. Good news, they were free. Bad news, he had a 4X4 with the locking hubs, so 2 of the wheels have holes in the center caps.

Basically, I have two wheels that look like this:



And two wheels that look like this:


(that "rust" wipes right off and isn't a problem at all)

I'd like to get the center caps changed out before I put these wheels on my truck. I've found a few websites that sell center caps, but none that seem to match these exactly. Any ideas?

Thanks.

You might try ebay. What year model is your coworkers xterra, these wheels might not fit your new frontier...

Pop out one of the center caps out of the wheel and see if it'll pop into the wheels that don't have them to make sure they fit correctly and stay there.

If all is good, then call the dealer. They *should* have them stocked in their parts department. On my Dakota I'd usually find one missing every now and then (stolen, fell out, ???). $17 later at a dealer and I had a new one in my hand.

After futher research... those wheels will NOT fit your 2006 Frontier. They are a 6 on 5.5 lug pattern. Our truck is a 6 on 4.5 lug pattern. Sorry, just dont want you to spend a bunch of money to get center caps and not have the wheels fit your truck.

Thanks for the info, but that's a real big letdown. I was looking forward to a fairly cheap change in appearance.
