Went to the automated car wash which quickly destroyed the wheel covers on our 2010 Prius. The Prius rides low, and the metal guiding bar cracked the covers.

The car wash manager refuses to replace them, and a day spent in small claims court is probably not worth it (plus, how do you prove they weren't already cracked?). They are offering to detail the car for free, so that's something (although it is so clean already, there won't be a noticeable difference).

The exterior paint color is silver. What replacement wheel covers do you recommend? Will any of the 2012-2014 covers work to give it a slightly updated look?

I've read that some of the cheap replacements start to peel and fade very quickly.

I ditched the caps on our 2010 and just bought 4 OEM center caps on Amazon for $25.

The stock wheels look way better than those ugly covers!
