Look really good.

Although, maybe only as a show piece. Can only imagine how hard they are to keep clean!! Mine are bad enough.

I go round the block for a warm up, and they need a good hour of cleaning. White ones must be twice as bad!!

Full credit to you though mate.

they look very sweet, however i hope u've got a few layers of clear paint on those. Get them waxed with the teflon kind. And dust will be a problem of the past.

You deffo should have opted for black centre caps, not my cup of tea at all.

Should have kept the speedlines on and used the money elsewhere!

Cap choice was silver or blue despite what the compomotive website said
anyways I like them so bollocks!

OZ's may return but not for a while...
