    Prius Three & Four, non-touring. 15".
    (U.S. Models). I bought an extra set off of eBay. A man was selling his cheap, and they are like brand-new condition. It's a good thing I did, because I scraped one of my wheel covers already.

    Stupid question because my two came with the polished aluminum wheels...and a set of these wheels covers.

    Can these be installed on generic steel wheels? Thinking about buying a set of winter tires mounted on steelies from tirerack.

    If the past is any indicator, the answer is no. The reason is that the wheel covers' wire that runs the circumference of the wheel cover is smaller in circumference than the rim of a steel wheel.

    Ah! I see now, the demo Prius had the north American covers and my car has the silver ones.
    Thanks!

    I'm glad the plastic wheel covers are easily replaced. I have a bad habit of parking too close to the curb and scraping the wheel cover. And some of the drive-thru food places are not very wide, and I scratched a wheel (or two) on my Camry in the past.

    Lots of 2016 Prius owners prefer to remove the OEM 15" wheel covers, and they sell them on eBay. I got a good deal on a set of four. (some auto parts stores want $90 for one!)

    I like the covers. I think they look nice. It just my opinion.

    I have a complete set of brand new covers in my garage in case I ever "feel the need".

    Oh really? Ahh, maybe you guys do get the two-tone wheel covers.

    Btw, there should be a "Business Edition" option in the "Model" drop down menu in the profile. I thought I added the UK options, so feel free to use that instead of a "US-equivalent" :)

    Nope! Only USA and Canada to choose from. Perhaps that's just a reflection of the size of our UK Prius market. ROFL

    If you manage to put it in the drop down I'll amend my profile for you, but no rush.

    I think I will put the new 2017 Prime wheel covers on my Prius. Dare to be different. :LOL:

    For the US based cars, I think the turning off/on of the RSA is done on the Navigation App. I posted the solution that worked for me on the following thread HUD question | PriusChat

    Open the "Navigation" app, then select "Options", then Map Information". There is a toggle for the "Speed Limit". When toggled off, the annoying popup on the HUD is gone. When on, it pops back on the HUD and on the second display

    That's confusing me. I have RSA on the HUD and second display, but no navigation software installed!

    Oh son of a...

    Danny must've used an older backup and some point when he was trying to fix the site issues.

    Well here's doing a good job as far as I'm concerned. This is a really user friendly site :)(y)(y)

    I wish the speed limit icon could be displayed in the left 4.2" screen and always be on, this is something useful. I sadly won't ever bother with this screen because I much prefer several other more useful screens. I know the speed limit icon is also displayed on the map, but it's about the size of Abe Lincoln's head on a penny and far down; again, not all that useful.

    In UK and other places, the camera identifies roadside signs and displays them on the 4.2" screen. They even come up on the HUD (in red when you exceed the limit showing). BUT, false readings from side roads, or trailers can be shown in error and they can't be cancelled. You have to ride it out till the camera detects another sign.
