    Just saw a 2013 with the hub caps off, and chrome beauty rings and a chrome center cap and lugs.
    Anyone have any ideas where you can get the beauty rings for a 2013 Prius. I really liked the look and cant seem to find where to get them? Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Are you sure it wasn't just some chrome looking vinyl stick on trim? People have been using those in multiple colors for accenting their wheels.

    No they were chrome metal rings. Really looked nice with a chrome center cap and lugs. I just cant seem to find them anywhere. Thanks for responding. I was hoping someone on this forum had a set so they could tell me where they got them.

    The thing you have to keep in mind is that most of the hubcaps and rings sold are meant to fit on standard steel wheels. The Prius alloy wheel has a different type of "lip", so everything else doesn't work.

    Thats the problem I am finding.
    Maybe there isnt any for the Prius.
    I wish I could have stopped the guy and asked him, but I wasnt driving at the time.
    They really looked nice though.

    If I were going to put beauty rings on my wheels, this is what I'd try:

    Cut the inside of the OEM wheel covers away, leaving just the outside "ring" with the clips. Find a way to attach the chrome beauty rings to the face of the OEM rings.

    Or get a set of these: Link, and attach the beauty rings to the face of these.
