Are yours missing or paint has fallen off? If it just needs to be repainted, you can do it yourself. If missing, try getting a price from a few dealers online such as gallerygroup.com or mazdastuff.com. Otherwise, see if anyone has some for sell on this forum or thepartstrader.com.

That's a very good price! More like 38-$40 from Mazda.

Anybody know the paint code for the caps? Does Mazda even list a code for the wheels? If not, what color have others used?

The paint came off all 4 of mine pretty badly and I priced them at $40 at the local Mazda dealer. At first I thought that price was for all 4 but when it turned out to be $40 each... the lady behind the parts counter was genuinely embarrassed and I was dumbfounded!

I then went to K-Mart and bought a can of aluminum engine (high heat) spray paint and sprayed them for $2-3 for the can of paint. Since I'm at work now I can't give you the details but I'll post it when I get home later.

The homemade solution lasts for a few months, then I spray it again. I also touch up the wheels with the same can, from time to time, and it is a good color match.

I believe that the color people list to paint the wheels is platinum silver. Not sure of the manufacturer but I heard a Toyota color matched pretty well.

Can anyone post up the color of spray paint to get for those caps. I am going to be getting new wheels in the next few months but I still want mine to look good till then.
