Default Got me-self some shiny wheel caps

Getting ready for wheel refurbishment(well getting ready some 6 months now) bought some new wheel caps as well as old ones look a bit tired and the one in pictures is not even the worst one. The old ones might polish up but some have quite heavy corrosion so might not come out too good. I got not a bad price on new so bought them. They are slightly different and lesser quality being part plastic where old ones are all metal. But at least I paid the same for 4 as it would cost me to get 1 like the old ones.
