Plastic Wheel Rings

You don't have to drive a few hundred miles - I only left them on for a couple of days and dirt had already collected underneath.

 

I like my car alot better without them on. My wife however is afraid taking them off will void her warranty! (lol) so hers is on and mine is off!

 

Her trim ring warranty, wheel warranty, or complete vehicle warranty?:noidea:

 

Same here, a couple of days was enough to collect an amazing amount of crud behind the rings. I removed them, bagged them, and haven't looked back. Hmm, maybe I should sell them...

The point about balance weights is interesting. Maybe the rings are intended to hide the hammer-on style of weight? Without the rings stick-on (adhesive) weights are required if you want them to be hidden.

 

how do you guys get them off????

 

Just pull them until they pop off.

 

I have the full wheel covers on my 2008 16" wheels.

I have removed one and below is a nice dark grey alloy wheel. However, in the center is an open hole... looks like a hub cap is needed there. Where can I buy those center hub caps?

 

I've seen the center caps on ebay. They're chrome looking though.

 

I wonder how chrome center caps would look on those dark grey alloy wheels. Has anyone done this?

 

The center caps that come on the Base Prius' will fit in the center of the Touring alloys

 

helloooooooooooooooooo

HAPPY 4TH PEOPLE!

ok, i'm gonna post a couple of photos, STUNDRA is correct, the center caps on the STANDARD prius will fit in the middle of the touring rims - without the plastic cap.

you'll see a close up of the rim, the touring rim with, then without the covers.

PM me if you have further questions.

BE safe!

 

They look like this

 

Built in incentive as I sold my rings for $100 on eBay a week after bought the car. Now 100% better looking:

 

I'm trying to figure out who would pay $100 for those things.....

Sweet! The ultimate in dog-dish caps :_> No, seriously, they look very good.

I'm totally confused. These look very different from each other. My dh has a package 6 and mine will be a package 6 as well. (not Touring) What's under the hubcaps?

I like the wheels in the 2nd picture better, by the way. How do I get those?

 

I took my trim rings off...I like the plain wheel better, but the wife wants to keep her trim rings on. I was washing her Pri today, took the trim rings off to clean the wheels and tried to convince her to leave them off...she likes the "finished" look with the trim rings. I think it's all a matter of personal preference.

 

Rancho, the bottom ones is what you'll get.
