not custom cut.....just the regular.....I have a set of M303's that only takes the HRE center cap which is a lot smaller on the 303's

Anybodu try on the hood? It'll likely look out of place because of the mm difference, or won't fit at all...

Some pics I found.

They are all plastic with plastic clips - no metal retainer. From the looks of it, they look about the same thickness as the factory star caps.

They look good. But again they also look a bit too busy for my tastes.

^^^ Agreed.

They would look perfect as a hood emblem, but not on all wheels... But all just personal preference..just my .02.

Dude, post pics BEFORE the install...

- in your hand
- from the side
- next to a ruler
- upside down
- etc etc etc

...so we can see the details of them before they are on your wheels!

Zoom in on it, I don't think so.

EDIT: Looking at the other pics I think you are right. Still, when you look at how that reflected you can kinda get what they were saying about '3d'. Its not 3d but clearly has some texture-ish aspect. Like to see these in person.

Here are some photos...will pull my star later and compare and get some shots on the car. They do have plastic clips, they are textured and they are not colored - just an optical illusion from the lighting and reflection.

Echoing a previous comment - a little too busy. I'll drive it like this for a while and see if it grows on me.

Too bright and busy on a black wheel I think. Look good with a silver rim tho.

Very cool caps but I agree, a little too busy for your car. I've just ordered some very unique custom wheels caps that will take about three weeks to arrive. Will post pics once I have them. They definitely have a cleaner less busy look to them.
