We always remove our hubcaps when we go out on long trips up North. Crappy thing about Toyota; spend 1.5-1.6M for the van and all you get are hubcaps.

I guess I have to live with removing the hubcaps entirely because my hiace is in Van-for-rent business which, as usual, go for long trips.

My mother already inquired at the casa and she was quoted P3,900 - per piece

I have yet to inquire at tire shops. Thanks for the advise.

Zip tie it. That's what the taxis do.

Mas mura pa to buy a whole alloy rim than a brand new hub cap from Toyota ah.

Nag implement na ba ng price increase ang toyota recently? Kasi tumingin ako sa website ang price ng hiace increased 30K across variants. Yung commuter ngayon nasa 1.245M from 1.215M. Parang sobrang mahal naman na nito para sa isang bare vehicle! tsk tsk...

Which insurance companies insure Hiace Commuter vans that are used as public passenger vans? Most reputable insurance companies only insure private vehicles. Prefer to use reputable insurance companies.

PM me guys.

Use giant zip ties to secure them or grab a set of Hilux (6 lug?) wheels. They're not so expensive and you can reuse your tires.

I was supposed to do that with ours (hilux 15s) but since we may sell it anytime soon, i decided not to. I was also thinking of the 1st gen LC80 15s (but im not sure about the offset).

The 17s of the Monty Sport look good on the Hiace BTW (in both fitting and design).

thanks for the advice Doc, but i plan on purchasing a 16" fort mags at the very least to bring 'porma' to my Hiace kahit konti.
last week, a guy offered me a bnew 17" fort mags (from 2012 model) set wheels only for a whopping 30K

the price was too steep i had to decline first.
