Don't Understand Trim Sizes

I lost a wheel trim from my 2008 Prius t spirit so went onto eBay to try to source a replacement. I found lots of ads for 15" and 16" wheel trims so I went and measured mine. They are 17" in diameter. No one seems to admit to the existence of 17" Prius wheel trims. Have I missed something here?

Are your tyres 17 inch?

Ah, no. The writing on the wall says 16" rims. So, when someone says 16" wheel trim they don't mean the actual diameter of the piece of plastic is 16", they mean trims for wheels with 16" rims.

Now I understand. Thanks.

I've always been confused by this as well - I guess that the wheel size is actually the diameter of the wheel on the inside where the tyre sits, not the rim part which will have to be bigger as there has to be a bit extra to keep the tyre in place.
