Someone makes color-matched vinyl to put over it I believe.

I like them the way they are.

The vinyl idea seems interesting...that way you can replace when they wear. I wonder how a powdercoat would work? I believe they can coat plastics these days.

I wouldn't mind smoking them out if I end up with wheels other than silver. They just don't look right with my Time Attacks right now.

powdercoating wouldnt work due to the handles being plastic

Did you happen to notice that they couldn't even cut the key hole for the driver side CF piece. How silly!! What if the Battery dies?? You have to rip these CF covers off to open the car.

Lol I did not but I just gave them a fleeting glance because it was something the OP may have been interested in. I didn't want them.

If the battery dies, it usually has more than enough juice left to unlock the doors.
