Hello, I heard that the wheels in the prius come with a cover-like protective plastic for the rim, I read somewhere that this can be removed, anyone know how can they be removed? I dont try it myself first because I'm afraid to scratch the wheel... Thanks in advanced.
Just pry it off like a hub cap. It's basically a decorative wheel trim. However, I didn't think the touring edition had wheel trim rings
You mean you still have those things on your car? They function much better as garage wall decorations!
ok i will try to hold and pull as soona s it stops raining! anyways, anyone have a pic on how do they look without it? thanks for the info.
You will once you get them off. You will find they acumulate a lot of dirt behind them so be ready to wash the wheels. This is especially true of the front wheels.
Take a look at this thread. http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-modifications/38491-plastic-hubcaps-off.html
I won't deny that the Wheels look better without the plastic trim. But I've been toying with the idea of having the body shop paint them the same color as my car. Assuming your car isn't silver, that might add a cool custom look for much less than the price of four new alloy wheels.
