Found it Funny, hence sharing.Spotted this on Mall Road. Prius owner at his best to avoid rims being stolen... Used Ties to tie nothing!.He must have seen people securing their wheelcaps with these ties.
I see these cable ties all the time here on cars with hubcaps.. it's basically to protect wheel cups being detached while on road. More of saving the cups rather than protect them from stealing.
Not sure if in the picture these are alloys or steel wheel with caps??
Much better than bumper protector https://www.pakwheels.com/forums/spotted-crashed-wheels/207457-why-how-protect-your-bumpers

mind you, these are for traction control
i always wonder what do people do in case of a punture? Untieing these ties is not as easy as to tie them
these are plastic wheels cups over the rims, hence they have ties so they don'tfall off on road (not just alloys)
they are alloys, they come ff on some models of prius.
