I just recently discovered another center cap option for those rocking steelies.
Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon hubcaps. No, really.
They fit neatly in the Scion wheel, have exactly the same lug pattern, and are held to the rim with for bolts from behind (two of which line up with the two holes between the lugs on a Scion rim), so you don't need to worry about them coming off. There is even part that is painted silver that you could paint to match your rims.
Here is a pic of them on an Omni (ignore the "expo" name, that was the Canadian version).
If people are interested I'll get a shot of some on my xB. Unfortunately here in New England the road salt has pitted the chrome on all the ones I've found so far.

I know there are a number of nice Toyota center caps out there, but I like those Mopar (Simca?) ones.

Haha not rude at all. Heard that comment quite a few times already. Yeah, they looked better when I was spraying them than on the car I think. OH well the winter salt on our roads in VA will eat them all to crap anyway.

With winter steelies, it doesn't matter what color you shoot them... they're gonna be covered in salt and road grime anyway.
I'm thinking of going hot magenta with mine this year.
