Default Center caps compomotive wheels

Hi mates,

I've since 3 weeks MO's under my 4x4. I have chosen the blue center caps.

But now after a few sun lights they are getting pale. The dark blue is light blue on the side where the sun was shining. Other side is oke.

Has anybody this problem also? For the money of the wheels may it not happens!

So if more people this have i getting contact compomotive.

Cheers Nick

Are they the plastic ones? I had blue plastic ones and they're shit. They faded and in the end just fell off. I do have some silver metal ones i painted but looking into getting them annodised.

Fuck paying £120+ for some carbon caps though.

Yes mate theye are plastic.
120 pond is a lot of money. If you bought wheels for that price you think it might be good.
Silver have i also. These are also from plastic. But like blue the most.

Got not yet a answere from compomotive.

Cheers

When they was last on sale on the Compomotive website they were £30 for the metal ones in either blue or silver. When i bought my wheels over a year ago i had the plastic blue ones and silver metal ones. The blue ones faded in a couple of months, I know of someone else who has just purchased some MO's and his has done the same

Its a shame as the blue really sets off the wheels imo
