Funny Thing is, I thought mine were steel with wheel cover (It is an EX Model).
Anyway, I had a nail in right rear and took wheel off myself at WALMART for patch up by WALMART.
Other than a thought "that is not steel wheel", I paid little attention and put the wheel back on (Excuse - I was in a hurry).
Now I wish I would have paid more attention. Seems it was just painted black, can't even remember what it would look like with out the wheel cover.
I like the wheel cover look, but I damaged one against a curb (scuff mark took the chrome looking paint off about a 3 inch strip). Been thinking "what paint color to touch up with?"
I really like those wheels. They look eye-catching but not too out there. They aren't too small, would have preferred if they were slightly larger though
They look great, but I set on getting rid of wheel covers and revealing the black alloy. Only problem I am running into is trying to find the center caps.
They are 2-5/8" (66.675mm) diameter and the clip cutouts are inward toward the rotor. Anyone found a solution? I wouldn't consider taking the wheel covers off without them due to the amount of dirt that would collect by the wheel bearing.
I am going to use the stock black spokes with a center cap and chrome trim ring for winter driving, when I start driving my Niro in winter. Just need to find a cap and trim ring that fits.
As per my previous post, i am looking for the caps my self. Let me know if you find them
