Hyundai i10 - Wheel Trims - Doc

A friend who lives a long way from me has asked me the following question.

He want to remove the wheels.

Vehicle: 2016 Hyundai i10 SE steel wheels with hub caps. " Do the wheel nuts hold on the hub caps, or are they false?"

Does anyone know?

Careful inspection, using a magnet, will show if the 'nuts' are steel or plastic.

If steel, undoing one with the wheelbrace will make it clear that they hold the trim on.

If plasttic, they are a moulded part of the trim.

If this is too difficult for your friend, no doubt his friendly Hyundai dealer will answer the question.

The Telegraph reported the other day that IQ's are becoming lower, I believe this to be true.

I had a Fiat with wheel trims held on by a rubber ring on the wheel nuts.

Looking at a picture of one for sale on Autotrader, i suspect the bolts do indeed go through the trims and so you wouldn't be able to remove them without taking off the wheel. This is actually a good way to prevent the trims being pinched though i am not sure how much of a problem that might be these days. But it would be easy enough to find out one way or the other, grip one of the wheel trim 'spokes' fairly close to the centre and pull it outwards. The wheel trim will flex as it is just plastic, but if the 'bolt heads' also move then they are part of the trim, if they don't move, they are the actual wheel bolts.

Have one of these cars in the family. Very good car.

The wheel nuts hold the wheel trim on.

There is a picture of a trim without the wheel nuts in this advert (very expensive though):
