    I have a 2017 prius and bent the aluminum rim so I replaced the front 2 to steel rims. However the orm rim covers don't fit anymore. Any advice on finding one's that will?

    What are the steel rims, are they Corolla rims, or some generic? If they're from a Corolla there's very likely a compatible Toyota cover. Obviously not going to match the alloy wheel covers though.

    I’d look for a replacement for the one bent rim, salvage, eBay, Craig’s List. Or if the bend is minor, there’s places that can mount it on a lathe and restore, for under $100 typically. Depends on your OCD level though.

    for our snows I had Corolla steel rims for about a decade, with just makeshift centre caps. When the snow tires aged out, I had replacement set of 2012-2015 Prius Plug-In rims on hand (purchased from Priuschatter for $400 USD), swapped to them. They’re a nice looking rim, cover not needed.
