Noticed that I have basically 'copied' your entire wheel/brake/centercap, and valve stem cover scenario on your car. Only major difference is the state of cleanliness. :-)
With regard to the center caps though, did you glue yours inplace, or otherwise attach them? Mine seem a bit loose although I doubt they will come off, but it <i>could</i> happen and I want to secure them. Any ideas? Are yours 'really' tight?
BTW, the center caps I received from Clair had a circular metal ring that had to be removed in order to fit into the Sportec hub. Did you remove yours?
TIA!

The center caps are actually a perfect match for the anthracite finished Sportec's.

As did a few others, including myself.
The tabs are good enough to ensure that the caps won't fall out, but the hot glue keeps them from rattling.
I think the center caps that you can get from Clair are slightly different. The ones from the OEM 5 spokes are made out of some alloy and have been priced out to around $50 a piece by another forum member. I think the one from Clair are about $10 a piece.
Hope that helps.

I'm running the identical winter setup and the lighter caps fit the Radons perfectly with the inner ring removed. Colour match is purrfecTT.
