Hyundai Coupe Wheel Trims Replacement Parts

Wheel trims (plastic hub caps) were only fitted to the very base-specification Hyundai Coupe models; the vast majority of Coupes sold in the UK came with alloy wheels as standard across most trim levels. If your car has alloy wheels, you are most likely looking for alloy wheels or centre caps rather than wheel trims. Check your current wheels before ordering — if you can see the full steel wheel face covered by a plastic cap, you need a trim; if the spokes and wheel structure are visible, you have alloys.

The Hyundai Coupe ran across two main generations in the UK: the first generation (RD, roughly 1996–2002) and the second generation (GK, roughly 2002–2009), and these are quite different cars with different wheel sizes and fitment. A trim from one generation is very unlikely to fit the other, and you should confirm the exact wheel diameter and clip pattern with the breaker against your registration number. Even within a generation there may be differences, so always cross-reference your reg rather than relying on year alone.

Trim level does not affect the physical fitment of a wheel trim, as the underlying steel wheel size is what determines compatibility, not the badge on the car. However, in practice higher trims like SE and SIII almost always came with alloy wheels, making wheel trims a base-grade S-spec fitment in most cases. If you have confirmed you need a plastic trim, any trim sourced for the correct generation and matching wheel diameter should clip on the same way regardless of the original car's trim designation.

This crosses the generation boundary between the first-generation RD (up to approximately 2002) and the second-generation GK (from approximately 2002–2003 onwards), which are substantially different cars with different wheel specifications. It is very unlikely a trim from the RD generation would fit a GK-generation car, and you should confirm compatibility with the breaker using both registration numbers before purchasing. Do not assume fitment based on the part looking similar.

No — a wheel trim is a full plastic cover that clips over a steel wheel, whereas a centre cap is a small cover for the central hub of an alloy wheel, and these are entirely different parts. Most Hyundai Coupes in the UK were fitted with alloy wheels, so if your wheel has visible spokes you almost certainly need an alloy centre cap, not a wheel trim. Tell the breaker you need an alloy centre cap and confirm your generation and wheel size so they can match the correct part.

Because wheel trims were only fitted to base-specification Coupes, they are relatively uncommon in breakers' yards compared to the alloy wheels that most cars left the factory with. You may find the search takes longer than for more mainstream parts, and it is worth contacting multiple dismantlers through Findapart to improve your chances. When you do find one, confirm the generation, wheel diameter, and clip style with the breaker against your registration to make sure it will fit before travelling or paying.
