    Im a proud original owner of a 2003 Tacoma PreRunner SR5.

    Only mods are Flowmaster 40, deck plate mod and a new Pioneer stereo with Polk 5x7s

    Thought I should join since I have read so much info on this site through the years.

    I just put a timing belt on last week and got the bug to do further improvements. Im thinking about putting on new wheels as I lost one of my center caps that are no longer made anymore.

    Welcome aboard Chris
    I bought a set of center caps on eBay $35 shipped. Needed paint but saved cost of new rims.
    Love your present rims.

    Thanks all,

    Part of the reason I picked that truck at the dealership was the wheels as you dont see many Tacomas that year with them.

    The few I have seen on Ebay want ridiculous $$$ for them. There is even and older thread here about their price being crazy.

    I wonder if another style center cap will fit?

    Made me start shopping online for some new wheels.

    Oh and the timing belt I just changed was the original. Lasted for 200K and still looked OK when I took it off.
