    What is this part called and where do I find one?

    The part on the wheel, not the hub cap which is held on with lug nuts. Just the rim cover part: what do you call it?

    I hit a curb, that cover piece fell off. I pulled over, put on the hazard lights (it was daylight). Fourth car to pass ran over it. :rolleyes: One clip is broken completely, another is loose and won't hold. I have the part back on but need to get a new one.

    Think I can find it on ebay? Where else should I look? What is that part called? Seems it is just for show, doesn't really DO anything, as far as I can tell.

    2008 Prius.

    Thanks for any help.

    Oh, and I swear that curb jumped in front of me! :p

    Wheel trim ring. If you don't find it on eBay I suggest you try your dealer.

    Should cost around $60 or so. Its purpose is cosmetic.
