need 2002se 17" center caps

Anyone tell me where I can buy new center caps for the 2002 se 17" 6 spoke rims? Best place and cheapest price.

I did a search but couldn't find any info.

Thanks,
Tom

You are correct.

Edit: Well, maybe they have that little tiny center cap with just the logo...

the little circle with the logo can be called a center cap as well...

i wonder if they are sold by the dealer...



BTW,
these "center caps" fit on the 97-99 16" wheels, probably on the 2k-2k1 GLE/SE 16" 6 spokes as well...

Maximaman190 took some from his 2k2 and put them on 97 SE wheels which are on his 3rd gen.. looks good.. these center caps have a chrome logo unlike a plain silver painted one on the stock wheels.. + the color matches perfect. Good replacement or upgrade for those of us whos center caps faded and turned yellow...

never thought of that...

So, what you're saying is the center little logo cap from my 16" 5 spokes ('97-99) should fit the 2002 17" rims. I never thought of that. I'll have to check in to that.
Thanks!

why would you put the old 97/99 caps on a 02? All 4th gen rims, 5th gen rims, and S13 240SX (91-94 SE alloy rims) center caps are interchangeable. maybe the new altima/sentra caps too but im not sure

Because I have a '99 Se and I just bought 2002 se rims but they didn't have the center caps with them. I would prefer to get new one but if that would work then great. Save some money at this time.

Last time I checked at the dealer a couple years ago for logo caps for my 97 wheels they were like $25 a pop. I tried getting them replaced while the car was still uner warranty when they started to fade to a yellowish tint, but the service writer gave me a line about using improper wheel cleaners and didn't replace them.
