   Looking to get some new wheel nuts, but ive seen these caps that you put over which are plastic so stay chrome.
   
   Would you get the caps or the bolts?

    think caps would be good and you can paint them to suit wheel colour like preds but i would be worried they could keep falling off.

    im thinking the bolts though may be harder to clean (without taking the wheel off fully) whilst caps you can pull off, wipe, then put back on. im saying caps because im lookin for yellow 1s, and i cant seem to find yellow bolts anywhere! and they would probs chip when tightening, removing!

    I'd go for the caps as they'd be easier to clean. They look quite good to IMO, esp if you get different colour wheels
