Totally agree. It's always the small things that seem to make the biggest difference.

Why don't you just use the one supplied in the tool kit?

I've always been tempted by a set but am put off by what always looks like a shiny silver finish in photos. Yours look more like original BBS nogaro silver, did you have them painted?

Its the original finish I think it’s the polished lip reflecting on the centre of the wheel giving the shiny colour. They have been on the car for over 4 years and it is my every day transport so used in all weather conditions, no sign of corrosion, and made in Germany. :D
