Self Centering Wheel Caps

Anyone have these installed for their OEM rims used for winters? Any thoughts or comments?

Seems like more for OEM summer rims. Where less exposure to ice, snow and salt conditions. Is there also any maintenance i.e. lubrication on bearings etc to prevent from seasing?


Thanks!

I have them installed and have been riding with them through the Maryland (re: soft) winter. Have had no issues to date. Still turn smoothly. May be more of an issue where salt usage is higher.

Have them, but barely remember they exist. No really worth the extra dough.

I only have them on my summer wheels and I do like them. On wheels with M logo they don’t make sence as the logo needs to be aligned with the M logo at all time.

Yes, the installation was straight forward. They seem to work. Of course I haven't seen my car from the outside while driving, so don't really know how they look. Maybe I will ask my wife to drive it one day while I watch .
