Where to find Ranger hub caps?

[Sweersa]

Hello, I have a 1997 Ford Ranger 2WD 2.3 litre.

I have to replace some damaged parts on it as it was in a minor accident.

I can't seem to find the little chrome hub cap on the wheels. Mine is scraped up pretty badly and I would like to find an OEM one to order online somewhere.

This is what it looks like: http://www.automotix.net/images/products/wheels/aly03263u.jpg

If someone could hook me up with a link url to a site that has this specific part it would be very appreciated. I figure this was the place to ask.


Thank you.

You could possibly have the same luck at a local junkyard.

Or if you're feeling dangerous, you could just follow someone in town that has them on their Ranger and when they park, pop them off.

The ones off the new rangers fit perfect. A buddy of mine grabbed two full sets from the Ford dealership where he works and they look amazing. They come in painted silver or chrome.

We found some parts from junk yards and other places. My Ranger looks great now

Thank you all for the wonderful support and ideas!

(They are Taiwan parts...but look OEM and seem built very nicely. Genuine parts were not as easily available. The only difference on the hub cap is that "Ford" isn't in the oval for legal reasons.)

HaHa! It'd be a hoot if these hubcaps said " Lainger " in the oval.

Seriously, glad that you got hooked up. And I'm not knocking them; there are some overseas products that are actually made well, and are the most affordable option available. Like hubcaps, I guess. Just gotta shop wisely.

They seem to be made very well. I feel kinda weird having foreign parts on an American truck...but I bet "American" cars are not 100% American even when stock. I am very satisfied with these replacements.

So, this is a bit off topic but has anyone here shared some crazy experiences in a Ranger during harsh winters? These things really need a lot to drive in snow, even if you drive smooth and slow. My 2WD ranger has snow tires and lots of weight which improves it immensely. It doesn't slide as much, and can actually "go" on icy or snowy inclines at intersections. They are very light in general which leads me to believe why they are so touchy on slippery roads.
