Prius wheel trim covers over alloy rims.

[neil]

Can someone tell me what the trims are for which cover the outer factory alloy rims.
Are they a gutter protector of something to do with aerodynamics or possibly
directing air to brakes.


Thanks.

Do you have a picture of what you are referring to?

I was in my RS4 today and got stuck behind a Prius at the lights. when the lights went green, I chewed off my right leg as acceleration became somewhat redundant

Did a google could not find anything official but others have mentioned aerodynamics or
fuel effiency or even reduced gutter rash on alloys.

As Corey said, purely for aerodynamics. Which made the fact that my ex-Chairman who bought a new Prius to save the planet lost one made him look all the more amusing in 'the car that makes you feel good but everyone else thinks you look like a spanner'!
