Used Hyundai i40 Wheel Trims

Wheel trims (plastic hub caps) were fitted to entry-level i40 variants, typically on the Classic and SE trim levels which came with steel wheels as standard. Higher trims such as Premium and Premium SE were generally supplied with alloy wheels from the factory, so those cars would never have had wheel trims fitted. If your i40 has steel wheels, wheel trims are a genuine original fitment; if it has alloys, you may actually be looking for an alloy wheel rather than a trim.

The Hyundai i40 ran as a single generation from 2011 through to around 2015, with a facelift introduced in 2014, so a 2012 and a 2015 car span that facelift boundary. The steel wheel size and stud pattern did not change across the facelift, so trims are generally considered interchangeable, but you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before purchasing, as minor retaining-clip or sizing differences are possible across the facelift update.

No — wheel trim fitment on the i40 is determined by the steel wheel diameter and the centre-cap aperture, not by whether the car has a 1.6 or 2.0 petrol or diesel engine. Steel-wheeled cars across the engine range used the same wheel size, so engine choice is not a factor here. Focus instead on confirming the wheel diameter (typically 15 or 16 inch) on your specific car with the breaker.

Both Classic and SE trims on the i40 used steel wheels, and because wheel trims are a cosmetic item fitting over the standard steel wheel, trim level does not affect whether the trim physically fits. However, Hyundai did use different styled trims on different grades, so a Classic trim may look different to an SE one even if they physically fit the same wheel. The part will fit mechanically, but be aware you may notice a cosmetic difference in design — confirm the style with the breaker if matching appearance matters to you.

Yes, the i40 was offered in both saloon and Tourer (estate) body styles, and both variants shared the same steel wheel specification, so wheel trims are interchangeable between the two body styles. The trim clips onto the wheel rather than being body-style specific, so there is no distinction to worry about. Just confirm the wheel diameter matches and that the trim is from the same generation i40.

Steel-wheeled i40s were most commonly fitted with 15-inch or 16-inch wheels depending on trim and year, so you need to check the tyre sidewall or the steel wheel itself to confirm the exact diameter before ordering. A breaker can cross-reference against your registration to confirm the correct size was fitted from the factory. Ordering the wrong diameter trim is the most common mistake with this type of part, so always verify before buying.
