Used Hyundai Ioniq 5 Wheel Trims

The Ioniq 5 is an all-electric vehicle and in the UK it was sold exclusively with alloy wheels across all trim levels — there were no steel wheels and therefore no plastic wheel trims were ever fitted to this model as standard. If you are searching for wheel trims, you may actually be looking for alloy wheels, centre caps, or alloy wheel covers (the aerodynamic covers fitted over alloys on some variants to improve range). Confirm with a breaker what exactly you need, as the correct search term will be alloy wheels or aero wheel covers rather than wheel trims.

Yes, this is a common source of confusion — several Ioniq 5 variants were fitted with plastic aerodynamic covers over their alloy wheels, which can look similar to traditional wheel trims but are not the same thing. These aero covers clip over the alloy wheel to reduce drag and improve electric range, so if one has been lost or damaged, that is very likely what you need. Search for 'Ioniq 5 aero wheel cover' or 'Ioniq 5 wheel cover' when contacting a breaker, and tell them your wheel size (typically 19-inch or 20-inch depending on trim) to make sure you get the right part.

Trim level can affect whether aero covers are present and which wheel size they correspond to, since lower trims in the UK were typically fitted with 19-inch wheels and higher trims with 20-inch wheels, and the covers differ between those sizes. However, trim level itself does not affect fitment compatibility — what matters is the wheel diameter, so confirm your wheel size rather than your trim name when speaking to a breaker. Colour differences between covers do not affect fitment, so a cover from a different-coloured car will fit as long as the wheel size matches.

The Ioniq 5 launched in the UK in 2021 and received a facelift for the 2024 model year, and it is possible that aero cover designs or wheel specifications were revised across that boundary. For cars within the same pre-facelift generation (2021 to roughly 2023) the covers are more likely to interchange if the wheel size matches, but crossing the facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration before buying. Do not assume a pre-facelift cover will clip correctly onto a facelifted car's wheel without checking.

A used cover from a scrapped Ioniq 5 is a sensible and cost-effective route, but you must match the wheel diameter — 19-inch and 20-inch covers are not interchangeable. Give the breaker your registration so they can verify the wheel size fitted to your specific car, as optional equipment choices can sometimes mean two cars of the same trim have different wheels. Once the diameter is confirmed as matching, a used cover from a breaker is a straightforward like-for-like replacement.
