Wheel center cap

Hi all. Recently had new tires put on and they broke the center cap on the wheel. We were hitting the road that day and didnt have time to wait for a replacement. I did a little searching and cant find the wheel model. Is there a generic size center cap I can order?

2015 Redwood 38FL, I believe they are 16 inch wheels.

Thanks in advance.

You may have to change all 4 center caps... I cannot match the ones that came with the wheels I purchased in 2019..

Here is where I got my wheels from - https://recstuff.com/accessories/whe...es/center-caps

Find out your center hole size and replace them.. OR just the one if you do not mind them not matching . ..

Did you receive your center caps yet ?
I just had the same thing happen. New Good Year tires and they Over-tighten the lug nuts on one wheel. That popped the center cap.
I went to my Redwood dealer in Albuquerque , Parts dept took my VIN# and sent me a photo of the correct center cap. I ordered 2 caps in case this happens again.
I hope that helps.

Never heard of that, overtightening causing the centers to pop off. Overtightening crushing the aluminum wheel or breaking the lug bolt, but not affecting the center cap? I guess I've learned something new!
On my '13 the centers had to be installed from the back of the wheel, no way to come off without removing the wheel.
I don't know if Ford has addressed the issue in the past few years, but the Super Duties, 3/4 & 1 tons, were always loosing the centers at overpass transitions & potholes, there were always a pile at each.

Hey T/Texans
Spent the winter in SPI ,Texas, near Space X Launch Center at Space Port,
Boca Chica.
a. 2017 Ford F450 Dually. So far no issues ! Getting what ya pay for? Lol
b. My RV tech repair said, (after removing wheel to inspect damage), "Over-tightening the nuts can press cap against grease cap and the threads on grease cap shear off, resulting in the hub cap (center cap) pops off." And that is exactly what happened to mine !! I learned something too !
Safe travels
Raymond
