My wheels came with the new car. They are really nice 9 spoke and chromed. Does that make them customed?

Hi yodudebc. Sorry to hear about your plastic covers. I bought a used vehicle for my Son which had those. All four were damaged. You can buy a set for $25 at an auto parts store or a much nicer looking set for $35. Yes it does tend to upset you on the day of delivery :-( . Take care - MGY

Good Morning ricker2332. I purchased a sub-compact 2012 Chevrolet Sonic four months ago. No model of this vehicle comes with wheel covers, just a very asthetically pleasing set of cast wheels. I found that to be not the norm for a low-end vehicle. The next model up, the Chevrolet Cruze, does come with wheel covers on their low-end models. There is a disparity in the selling philosophy of these two models.

Plastic covers on tin rims. And I scraped the covers against the curb on the day I took delivery. Sigh.

OEM cast aluminum wheels are standard on any trim level of the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. No wheel covers are offered.

OEM alloy. The cost to replace a factory wheel cover is ridiculous.
