Here's what you can choose from:

• Refurbished OEM: These are also real Toyota parts, but they've been fixed up to look like new.
• New Aftermarket: These are brand new parts made by other companies. They're made to be like the original parts.

All of these are good choices.

Parts you might need to replace at the same time:

• Other Wheel Covers: If one is damaged, the others might be old too. Replacing them all makes your car look better.

Why replacing related parts is a good idea:

• It can stop problems from happening again.
