Nissan Qashqai Wheel Trims Replacement Parts

Wheel trims (plastic hub caps) were fitted to entry-level Qashqai variants across all generations, typically on models supplied with steel wheels rather than alloys. Higher-spec trims came with alloy wheels from the factory and never had wheel trims fitted at all. If your Qashqai has steel wheels you will have trims; if it has alloys, there are no trims to replace — you may be looking for an alloy wheel or a centre cap instead. Check your current wheels before ordering.

The first-generation Qashqai ran from 2006 to 2013, and the second generation (J11) ran from 2013 onwards with a facelift in 2017 — so a 2015 and a 2019 car are both J11 generation. Trim size depends on the steel wheel diameter fitted, which you should confirm by checking the tyre sidewall or the wheel itself, as 16-inch and 17-inch steel wheels were available on the J11. If both cars share the same wheel diameter and bolt pattern, trims from the same generation are likely compatible, but confirm the exact size with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The first-generation Qashqai (2006–2013) and the second-generation J11 (2013 onwards) are entirely different platforms with different wheel sizes and bolt patterns, so trims are not interchangeable between them. Even if the trim diameter happens to match, the clip design and centre bore may differ and the trim could fit poorly or come loose. Always tell the breaker which generation you have — ideally by quoting your registration — so they can supply the correct part.

Trim level itself does not affect fitment — what matters is the diameter of the steel wheel fitted to your car, which is a mechanical specification rather than a styling choice. A Visia and an Acenta with the same size steel wheels use the same trim. That said, higher trims like Tekna are typically supplied with alloy wheels and would never have had trims fitted, so if you are unsure whether your car left the factory with steels or alloys, check the wheels you currently have before ordering.

Wheel trim size must match the diameter of the steel wheel on your car, and J11 Qashqais were commonly fitted with 16-inch steel wheels on lower specifications, though other sizes may have been offered at different points in the range. The easiest way to confirm your size is to look at the tyre sidewall — for example a tyre marked 215/65 R16 has a 16-inch wheel — or to check the wheel itself for a stamped size. Give this measurement to the breaker alongside your registration so they can match the trim correctly.

The J11 Qashqai received a facelift around 2017, and while the underlying platform remained the same generation, detail changes including wheel specifications can sometimes differ across a facelift. Wheel trim fitment across that 2017 boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume, as the clip retention design or centre decoration may have changed even if the diameter stayed the same. A good breaker will be able to check whether the trim from their donor car matches your exact year.
