    Your best bet would be to have existing hubcaps modified in whatever way you prefer... I've never seen alternative hubcaps for Prius... But perhaps you could get what they call "moon discs" to work. These look like metal pizza pans that cover the whole wheel and are popular with the hypermile/highMPG enthusiasts that are looking to squeeze ever last drop of fuel efficiency out of their car.

    Thanks, but what do you mean by modify. There’s lots of hub caps on amazon on stuff but there meant for aluminum wheels not alloy, and I guess there are no hubcaps for alloy wheels.

    Aluminum wheels and aluminum alloy wheels are slightly different names for the same thing. The hubcaps on Amazon may or may not fit... I've not seen any posts on here suggesting any specific alternatives, but if you went to a hub cap store in person you'd be able to confirm they fit before you buy them.

    As for modifying you could take the existing wheel ring and caps and use paint or plastic dip. You could also use bondo or fiberglass epoxy or use a soldering gun tip designed to melt plastic shapes into it.

    But before you do any of this you need a vision of how you'd like them to look. If you can explain or show a pic of the look you're going for, we'd better be able to help.

    Spray what you've got with black Plasti-Dip? That way you can peel it off when you "come to your senses".
