Thanks for the heads up, ordered a set :D

I think the fact they don't sit flush with the wheel would annoy me. Would like to see some pics of the side profile once someone here fits them.
And yes, they would be way down any wish list for my Zed :roll:

Yeah, you'd think they would have sorted that before making a YT video to sell them. Not a good look (but it's not the caps, it looks like the thing that's simulating the rotating wheel is out of alignment)
