yep, because they're plastic and had to be sprayed seperatly when the wheels were powder coated, because the type of surface is different in some light they appear a slightly different colour, looks worse in photos though

that would be a great shame

on a side note, that looks so much better. brings the wheels out to suit the arches and also improved handling. winner.

they dont put any extra pressure on wheel bearings and you dont need to replace the wheel studs with longer ones
