    I will be picking up my new BRM '10 in a few weeks and I am debating on whether or not I want to take the wheel covers off. I have seen pics posted of the wheels without the covers but not on any red ones. If anyone out there has done this to their BRM Prius can you post some pics? Thank a lot in advance! :)

    Also, does anyone have any comments on whether it would be easier to take care of the alloys vs the covers?

    Leaving the covers on should mean you can always go to a nice new looking set of alloys later when they get damaged or old. I would from time to time take the covers off and clean the wheels giving them a protective coating of wax to keep them pristine.

    The covers would be a lot easier to wash I would think.

    ordered my center caps this weekend! Hopefully, I'll be rolling the hills of WV without the wheels covers.
