Why didn't anyone tell me, that the only nice looking part of those ugly plastic wheel covers > the center cap, was removable ? Okay.... So the tabs that hold it in the ugly arse wheel cover, don't snap into the decent looking aluminum wheels underneath, but I don't think that is anything a little super glue won't fix ! In any case, next week my friend and I are going to take the wheels off and do a complete blackout on them.... Other than the chrome Toyota emblem on the factory caps. After I got to looking at the factory wheels, I was surprised there was so much bare aluminum all the way around the wheel behind the spokes. I think I will do them with flat black paint, because it's a lot cheaper then Plasti dip, plus it will dry fast. Taking the wheels off to Plasti dip them anyway, and to spray the brake rotors black. Anyway I think these center caps look great
Those plastic wheel covers, they are used for shipping, IMHO, feel free to discard them! The silver alloy rims, look great, no need to paint, or modify. I see lots of gen 3 prius’, missing one, or more, wheel covers. I had a set of four, brand new, removed at purchase, that I offered to sell, online, on craigslist, etc, but no one interested. Sadly, when I moved, I tossed them in the rubbage bin.
