    So, will the wheelcovers from a 2011 Prius fit other Toyota models with 15" wheels, or are they proprietary to the Prius wheel.
    Thanks.

    Actually somewhat proprietary, the gripper section on Prius wheels are shallow, so wheel covers have a shallower gripper section, instead of the normal or universal covers, they may work on regular wheels, but normal or universal won't on a Prius.

    If you look closely at the Prius wheel, there is a groove that the wheel covers cling to. This is a proprietary system, as mentioned above, universal covers don't fit the Prius wheel, and only other Prius wheel covers fit Prius wheels. The 2010-11 covers fit the 2012+ wheels and vice versa.
