I have taken the OEM caps off and will restore those at some point. Though the before picture is with the OE centre caps which are still a little proud.
The wheels have £20 eBay ones on now to tidy things up, but indeed some surface has been removed over the years with a couple of diamond cuts. Hence one of the reasons I just got them dipped, stripped and coated.

I should have noticed the loss off the fillets....
 The diamond cutters near me, when selling me their services recently, were fairly explicit about how little they can remove (even at the edges) and how they blend in so that almost nothing is lost at the centre and caps still meet properly.
