Subtle Bling

Can you see it?? Chrome covers over that fugly part of the rotor that gets rusty.

Expensive for what they are but it's all in the details!

For some reason, I can't see the pic. I'm guessing that they are the same covers I bought for mine this year. They are suttle, but I have had some positive feedback about them. I bought the chrome plated aluminum ones so they should always look new. I also think the thin spokes show them off very well.

Looks nice with your wheels.
Can you put them on easily without removing the calipers on a C5?

Easy.

You take off the tire, slide the cap over the lugs onto your rotor while it's still on the car and bolt the tire back on. With the tire off it takes all of 3 seconds to slide on.

You don't have to remove the calipers but you DO have to move them away from the center of the hub.

Process is: Loosen top caliper bracket bolt, remove bottom bracket bolt, swing caliper out a couple inches and THEN they just slip on. The bolts are torqued to 125 lbs and are a PITA to remove. Following some suggestions from members here I finally heated them with a torch for a couple of minutes and then they came off with little effort. (Still needed a breaker bar and a sledge hammer!)
