They do look good but are a bugger to clean all the time. I gave them a quick wipe down before I packed them but you can still see where brake dust has stuck on them in places. So unless your going to wipe them down every day I would suggest going a darker colour. I meant to send you a spare Center cap I have with them but forgot to chuck it in so if you want it let me know and I will send it in a envelope. Also if you have ran out of sandpaper I would stock up because you will need a lot if your going to sort these wheels out yourself
