TRD OR center cap removal

2018 Stock 16" TRD OR wheels:
The center cap just pulls off. It's held on by 5 plastic tabs. No need to remove lug nuts.
Back Side: Toyota emblem:
The emblem is easily removed. Just a good smack with a small hammer to the tabs that protrude through the center cap. Then pull or pry it off the front. The tips of my tabs were not melted, just a little thicker than the slot they fit through.
Hope someone finds this information helpful.

 

The Sport wheels are similar.

 

What did you replace with? Sticker? Link?

Thanks

 

Definitely want to know what you replaced it with, link?

I used these. Any 60 mm resin stickers will work.

 

Thank you Camel89! I got them off of eBay. About $18 from China/Thailand.

 

Thanks!

 

I’m not patient enough to wait for overseas delivery. Looks great though! Nice instructions too.

 

Yes, very helpful. I just installed these and really like the look - Thanks

 

Looks good, damn I purchased a set wrong size about 2 weeks ago. Got the 52 instead of 60mm

Planned to paint the stock rims gloss black and Add the stickers for a close to pro look

 

Sorry to grave dig...any pictures of what the stock rims look like without the center caps?

 

It doesn't look too bad. At Harbor Freight, they have a tool like this:

I believe it is usually $4 there? Just hook it on the back of the center cap and pull gently but firmly. They will come off and you can decide for yourself.

 

Im super late. But did you paint those?

 

noce now dip it

 

I cant find the emblems on ebay they only have the black and chrome

 

I Did. I removed them. Sanded then painted. After three years they still look new.

 

its been so long since ive done this mod, I dont even know where to buy those emblems anymore

 

I got mine on Etsy. From Ukraine and took 5 days to arrive with tracking! Look good too

 

Thanks for this! Related question - did you have any issues getting the center caps back on and feeling secure? How exactly did you get them into place? I have a 2021 and had the center caps stolen (not thrilled with a brand new truck! but could have worse...). I ordered OEM replacements from a Toyota dealer. Every time I've tried to install the new ones, they kind of sit in there somewhat firmly, but I can just flip them back out with my finger. I can't imagine they don't secure in there any better, but no matter how many times I try they just don't feel secure. Thanks!
