    Hi there. I own a 4th generation prius now but back in 2008 I test drove and purchased a new 2nd generation Prius.
    When I asked the question about the wheel trims on top of alloys , the sales man informed me that they are to protect the £800 each titanium wheels.
    Having taken the wheels off for puncture repairs and seen them raw, they looked like standard auminium alloy. Can anybody enlighten me.?

    They’re lightweight alloys but I’m not certain of the exact composition. Aluminium for sure but not certain of the other elements.
