Have had a few sets of these since the originals corroded.
Last two set also rubbish quality, painted tin plate.
These;

Really nice and have a proper plastic cover like the boot/bonnet badges.

Otherwise known as wheel centre caps and they do look good quality. I always go oem as IME non oem tend to go yellow over the years.

I bought a set of these and they are ok.
They only have 5 tabs on the rear to locate it in the wheel instead of 10.
They dont sit tight enough in the wheel meaning they can turn. I put a couple of dabs of silicone to try and stop this happening.

Really should have used the brakes before taking this pic.

They do look decent, my last set were cheapies off ebay and they looked good until I sprayed some alloy cleaner on the wheels and it took the logos straight off :x

And watch out if you have the tyres changed, the last place I went the chap was going to attack them with a screw driver until I said stop.
And then I pushed them out by hand after he had removed the wheel.

My previous set corroded first sign of road salt.

Thanks for the tip, just ordered a set. They say out of stock, but the guy had a few left and opened the ebay page up for me. Looking forward to replacing the cracked ones on mine. :)
