Missing Wheel Cap...

The left rear of my truck was recently stuck by a 16 year old kid who had just gotten his license. Not too big of a deal. It was the kids fault, he had insurance.

He ended up hitting my tire (which is getting replaced) and busting the cap on my wheel along with a few scratches on my bumper and rear side panel.

So I take my truck into the shop to get all fixed up and get a call the next day. I'm told that my Eagle Alloy wheels have been discontinued and they cannot get the wheel cap replaced and they can only reimburse me for the cost of replacing it.

I cannot go around without a wheel cap. It makes my truck look bad!!!!

Aside from getting a whole new set of wheels (too $$$$), does anyone have any suggestions for thought on what I can do?


I would greatly appreciate any ideas.

Maybe you'll get lucky on this one, but I just typed Eagle Alloy Caps on ebay and got 143 hits. Maybe yours is one of them.

Even tho the wheels are discontinued, that does not mean the Eagle Company cannot supply you with the part you need. Contact them directly.

Also like svt said, check eBay that would be the best best to get a replacement wheel cap.
