Nissan Pulsar Wheel Trims Replacement Parts

Wheel trims (plastic hub caps) were fitted to entry-level Nissan Pulsar variants sold in the UK, typically on steel wheels supplied with base and mid-range trim levels. Higher specification trims were generally supplied with alloy wheels as standard, so not every Pulsar on the road will have had wheel trims from new. If your car currently has steel wheels and needs replacement trims, a breaker can supply them, but confirm against your registration that your specific car was originally fitted with steel wheels rather than alloys.

The Nissan Pulsar was sold in the UK as a single generation running from approximately 2014 to 2018, so a 2014 and a 2017 car are from the same generation and the steel wheel and trim sizing should correspond. That said, you should confirm the wheel diameter is the same on both cars, as trim levels with different wheel specifications could affect which size trim fits. Ask your breaker to check against both registrations before purchasing to avoid buying the wrong size.

For wheel trims specifically, engine size is unlikely to be the determining factor — what matters is the diameter of the steel wheels fitted to your car, which is typically consistent across the Pulsar range for steel-wheeled variants. Unlike brakes or suspension, wheel trims are a cosmetic cover and fitment is governed by wheel size rather than the power or weight of the drivetrain. Check the wheel diameter (usually 15 or 16 inch on the Pulsar) and confirm this with the breaker against your registration.

Trim level itself does not change the physical size of the steel wheels or the fitment of wheel trims on the Nissan Pulsar — a trim from a Visia car will fit a steel wheel of the same diameter from an Acenta car, for example. The more important distinction is that Tekna and some higher-spec Acenta cars came with alloy wheels as standard, meaning those cars never had wheel trims fitted at all. Confirm with the breaker that the donor car was a steel-wheeled variant to ensure you receive genuine wheel trims rather than a set of alloy wheel centre caps.

No — wheel trims must match the diameter of your steel wheels exactly, so 15-inch trims will not fit 16-inch wheels and vice versa. Check the tyre sidewall on your car, which will show the wheel diameter as part of the size marking (for example, a tyre marked 205/60 R16 indicates 16-inch wheels). Always tell your breaker the exact wheel size from your car's tyre markings so they can supply the correct trims.

The Nissan Pulsar was sold across Europe and the UK specification cars were broadly similar, so wheel trim sizes should correspond where the wheel diameters match. However, there can be minor differences in clip retention or trim design between markets, and a poor-fitting trim may not stay in place safely. It is worth confirming with your breaker that the donor car was a right-hand-drive UK market vehicle to avoid any unexpected differences.
