Default New 17" Fuchs wheels

Hi all,

I just received the new 17" fuchs wheels and waiting for them to go on my car unfortunately there's still some snow announced in belgium this week-end so I'll have some time. i'm trying to find some anodized aluminium wheel centers as the ones provided by fuchs are black and i got the silver star paint scheme.

So i'm searching for anodized wheel caps (the painted silver one are just uggly on those wheels) but not able to find anything that match, so i try to get more help from you.

Thanks a lot all

PS : waiting to see how faster she will be with those 10 kgs off the wheels

Xavier.

Looking forward to seeing some pictures of those on your car. Would love to have a set, but money needed elsewhere right now. If you are having trouble finding anodized caps, why not find a company to anodize a standard painted set for you?

Not sure where to find such a company but i'll repaint my current set (Cup II) and keep them for the winter tyres, so I'll check if they're able to anodize a set of center cap.

Xavier... that looks great!! What is the 10kg weight saving compared to? i.e what wheels do you have tight now?
