Floating caps installed

Uhhmmm'd and ahhh'd for so long got bored of my own thoughts so bought the damn things and fitted after giving her a clean today.

Douchy but look nice actually and don't stick out like I was afraid.

I considered getting these because I'm a photographer, and it's one of those often overlooked details to always have the logo at the correct angle. However, since I can't actually set them at whatever angle I'd want, I'm still on the fence. Pretty cool though, IMO.

I would never have gotten them on my own but they came when I purchased the car and they are really cool. Too bad I won't be able to switch them to the new wheels when they arrive.

They look great!

I installed these a few months ago and love them.

I think I read somewhere that these can get hot on high speeds... anyone had any issues with them?
Just curious about its robustness on say... 100mph for 4 hours.

I’m not trying to be funny.
I do take road trips 700 mile round trips almost every weekend, and although I don’t drive at that high speeds constantly, I am really curious what kind of stress its bearings can withstand.

People notice the car a bit more.

It's good enough for RR it's good enough for me.
