Are they getting that good at counterfeiting?

There's a guy in HB selling these right now on CL for $50 a set. A year or so ago I bought 3... 4 sets to match my wheels. I believe I paid $40 a set back then.

Came in boxes... packaging... look like the real deal. Clearly they're not. However, in my opinion... they're worth the price. Plastic.

A couple of weeks ago I was cleaning my wheels... noticed a little wear on the "newer" caps... turned out to be that protective film you're supposed to remove. Now they look even newer.

Good quality knockoffs. Good detail. Grab a few sets while you can. Don't scratch the paint on them...

Does spraying a clear coat over these help protect them? Does clear nail polish work? or at that price, should I just not worry about it? thanks -

The clearcoat would go bad quick and the nail polish would probably eat into the paint. I wouldn't.

Thanks - "Drive more, worry less" seems to be good advice!
