or if i really was hard pushed for cash i would have each wheel off, sand then down and paint them with high temperature paint or hammerite or something.
i place cheap after market wheel trims in the same category as those pink "top totty" seat covers girls with no taste fit to a car with an external colour that clearly doesnt match with bright pink.
I dont care, I just want it to look less noticeabley crappy from the mis-matched rusty wheels and broken trims - I only wash the blooming thing about three times a year, and its covered in dents and keyed all down one side, I am hardly going to start sanding and hammeriting wheels.0 -

well why make the wheels stand out by covering them in cheap poor fitting bits of plastic. leave them as they are and they will fit right in with the rest of the car....work permit granted!0 -

The Lidl trims are very similar to OEM.
They are not tacky bright silver with pretend chrome wheelnut mouldings etc.
The colour is mid grey as per originals and the pattern is very similar to average wheeltrim, they're not made to break, and cost one eighth of price of scandalous main agents.0
