I’m not sure if there were actually any gains from the new wheel covers, but they look nicer than what I had... the gloss finish of the tape really shows the tape lines and stuff but hopefully once it’s reinforced and covered with matte finish CF vinyl it’ll look even better...

I’m still in the fence about whether or not to make holes through which to access the valve stem. I mean, it’s kinda a PITA to remove the wheel covers just to check tire pressure, but how much of a PITA would it be to add the holes and keep the tape taut?

Opinions?
