    Will all 15" hubcaps (prius or not) fit my 15" tires/rims?

    I have the basic 15" tires and rims and someone stole two of the outer hubcaps recently and Im deciding on whether to just slap on some generic 15" hubcaps off ebay.

    I lost one of mine somewhere...who knows. I replaced it with an original one that I found on eBay....I think it was less than $20. Since I was going to leave the hubcaps on, I wanted the original ones.

    Good luck!!

    It might be more sensible to take the other two hubcaps off. The alloy wheels are really nice without them, but I'm sure somebody has measured a hundredth of a percent increase in the coefficient of drag, so you'll have to take that into consideration.

    I have the original hubcap rings available that I took off my car. I can give them to you for $21 each which includes shipping & tracking # & accept paypal if interested.

    Yeah, I may not have a choice. Hard to come by non chrome ones in ebay. No luck locally either.

    I took my hubcap/ring covers off about 35K miles ago and haven't missed them. The alloy wheels look great without the ring IMO.
