The caps you can get anywhere, however the sleeves you should be able to find at Autozone or Kragen/Checker/Schucks..

After MP3-E mentioned wally world I went there myself...my wifes P-5 has the regualar stock wheels and NO chrome sleeves or caps...and she mentioned she liked them on mine....so I went there the other day and low and behold for $3 whole dollars they had sleeves and caps that are almost EXACTLY like the stock ones....the only difference is the cap is shaped a little different.

wonders will never sease! :D

After going to Walmart i have come to the conclusion that the caps and sleeves sold there are about cheep lookng to me. I am not hating on anyones caps and sleeves but i would much rather have the stock RH ones.If anyone has any other ideas where i could find these caps and sleeves i would much appriciate it.
I'm out,

Thanks in advance

I think the dealership will be more than happy to charge a lot more than $3 for the stock ones.

After losing two sets of caps to local miscreants - (but oddly NOT the chrome stem surrounds both times) - I went to Speedworld and got a set of nifty ones with the Mazda logo on the top...it come with a little wrench so you can crank them on to slow the little bike riding bastards down.

I really wanted a set with a razor edge so next time you find bits of fingers...didn't have those in stock!

Nice to see you got your car back Bob...

And to prevent the loss of future caps you can always mount your own razor blades.

Yellow, I agree with you 1000%, those caps are sweet as honey. HOWEVER....my wife wouldn't truely appreciate them. She is happy as can be with her wally world sleeves and caps....thus so am I....and only out $3!!! :{D you TRUELY can not ask for more than to spend only $3 and make your lady happy.... :{D

HOWEVER....if your lady is into cars as well...and could appreciate the Mazda Caps...by all means...get them for her...as even the $15 or so is a small price to pay to put a smile on your ladies face.

CAUSE YOU KNOW....IF the lady ain't happy...NO BODY IS GONNA BE HAPPY!!!!

:D

I agree. I agree. I agree. LOL Ummmm $3 and a nice :D form ur gurl. Props to ya. My gurl likes the ride but hey she doesn't like the car as much to say wow nice air valve caps and sleeves and as u said the $15 isn't that bad at all just to get a fat smile from my face. So each to their own i guess and have a great day.
Thanks,
Zane

Yello-MP3, you're on crack. The $3 ones at Wal Mart don't look cheesy...as someone else said, they're almost identical. The ONLY difference is that the Wal Mart caps have ROUNDED tops (instead of sqaured off ones) and the bottoms of the stem covers don't flare out (which you can't really notice). They don't look like these cheesy peices of garbage like you claim...but, it it's THAT important to you, you can get the OEM ones replaced for $40...$10 each. It's the whole valve and the cap & sleeve.
