Hyundai Kona Wheel Trims Replacement Parts

Wheel trims (plastic hub caps) are only fitted to the steel-wheeled, entry-level variants of the Kona — in the UK market these are typically the lower trim grades such as S and SE, which were offered with 16-inch steel wheels and plastic trims rather than alloys. Higher trim levels like Premium, Premium GT, and N Line come with alloy wheels as standard and never had wheel trims. If your Kona has alloys, wheel trims are not what you need — you may be looking for alloy wheels themselves, centre caps, or locking wheel nut keys instead.

The Kona ran in its first generation from 2017, with a facelift arriving in 2021; the second generation launched in 2023. Wheel trims across the first-generation cars used 16-inch steel wheels, so trims from a pre-facelift 2017–2020 car may physically fit a 2021–2022 facelift model if the steel wheel diameter and fixing arrangement are the same, but you should confirm this with the breaker against your specific registration before buying, as minor changes to wheel profiles across the facelift can affect clip retention. Never assume a fit purely on year.

Trim level does not affect the fitment of wheel trims on the Kona, since they are tied to the steel wheel specification rather than the trim name. Both S and SE-spec cars used the same 16-inch steel wheel, so trims from either grade should interchange. Bear in mind that cosmetic differences — such as colour or finish — can vary between production runs, so the trim you receive may not be an exact visual match even if it fits correctly.

Engine size and drivetrain type do not directly determine whether wheel trims fit, since fitment depends on the steel wheel diameter and clip profile rather than what is under the bonnet. That said, certain powertrain variants of the Kona — particularly the fully electric version — may have been supplied exclusively with alloys in the UK market and therefore never carried steel wheels or trims at all, so confirm with the breaker that the donor car was steel-wheeled. As always, have the breaker check against your registration to be certain.

Generation matters because the second-generation Kona (2023 onwards) is a substantially different vehicle from the first generation (2017–2023), and steel wheel specifications may differ between them. Within the first generation it is plausible that trims interchange, but crossing the 2023 boundary into the second generation introduces enough uncertainty that you should not assume compatibility — route this to the breaker and give them your registration. Sticking to a donor car from the same generation as yours is the safest starting point.

Physically, a single replacement trim just needs to match the wheel diameter and clip pattern of your existing steel wheels, so it does not have to come from the same donor car as the other three. The practical concern is cosmetic — trims from a different production year or supplier may differ slightly in finish, colour, or logo style, meaning one trim can look noticeably different from the rest. Confirm the diameter and part reference with the breaker against your registration to maximise the chance of a close match.
