Cheated a bit & fitted the classic HRE wheel caps on my flowform wheels

In case anyone was wondering...yes the classic HRE wheel cap will fit on the flow form wheels. However HRE will not sell them to you because they are reserved for their forged wheels and not the cheaper, less cool, flow form wheels like mine :-)

Sooo....ebay it is. I initially tried a replica cap for a test fit but it wouldn't work so went with the oem.

With my white car and blue calipers - I really like the way these caps work with the wheels and car.

ps- working on some side shots to give a better view of the car

Didn't even know this, That is comical. I love being able to do stuff like this. Sounds like HRE is a bit outta touch. Let the wheels do the talking, not the center caps.

I am guessing this is FF10s? I am trying to do the same. Can you tell me the correct size you ordered? Or even a link? Appreciate it,

I'd also love to know what size you ordered to fit the ff10s. Thanks.
