I’ve noticed several Prius cars that have three wheels that match and one wheel that’s an oddball. On this car three wheels look like the one in the back. WhY THo????

Those are hubcaps in the back, the front is the "styled steel wheel."

So I’ve just seen a lot of Priuses with missing hubcaps?

The hub cap fits over the alloy, it's weird.

Now lets stop talking about prius's please.
