I am so pis*** off right now, I can't even speak

Paid for it as I was fuming and had to get out from there before I do something stupid (I am very an@l about the wheels and what I want)

This is how they looked before


I said no darker or lighter colour, just like for like as it was a standard gunmetal.
Look at the picture above and compare the colour of the caps and the actual wheel.

Now look at the new colour, compare caps with the wheel.
(wheels are a bit dusty but...)

Not only that I need new caps now, BUT I can't match the colour as they are not black, not gunmetal !!!!!

Fully chromed Audi ones would much the polished face but can't find anything in this size !!!!!!!!!
I don't like advertising wrong product, but at this stage I would fit even chrome caps with S or RS or even A1 writing on them as long they are chrome and right size.

Off now to take the wheel off and measure the caps as I get 68mm outside diameter which just makes no sense
After 4years of knowing the guy I lost any trust in him, he could actually **** *** now
(and yes I do have a temper problem when something I'm an@l about goes wrong, my apologies)
