Replacement Wheel Center Caps

[mark090852]

I few days ago I picked up a "new to me" 2016 Explorer Sport. All four wheel center caps have some hardened white substance on the surface. It looks like white paint or dried wax, but it is very hard and I've tried everything I can think of to remove it, with no luck. I'd like to order some new ones. Does anybody have a source for OEM parts like this that they would recommend?

Have you tried your dealer's parts department?

I have not checked my dealer's part department yet. The dealership is about an hour drive away, and I was hoping to find them online and order them so they would be delivered here to the house. I'm going to check out the site you recommended. Thanks

Some have also ordered parts from places like Rock Auto/

Which ones do you need, brushed, chrome, or black?

I need the chrome ones.

That number is not recognized on the FordNation site and the number is nowhere close to the ones they show for similar caps. Also, the 2 that show on the site appear to be specific to certain wheel sizes.

I did order these. For $16 for four I thought it was worth trying them out. Further down in their ebay description, they do list a 2016 Explorer Sport with 20" wheels and a correct fitment. I will know in a week or so and I'll report back here with my results.

They came in today and I just installed them. I think they will be fine. They snapped into place about 1/32" deeper than the ones I took off, but since they all matched, I don't think it is noticeable at all. For $16 for all four, including free shipping, I'm very pleased with the result.
