They do look good.What surprises me is the fact your originals had plastic covers, given what you paid for the Niro.
Nice job Alan. The name of your new wheels is a bit confusing though! I thought you were starting a new trend with the spelling of decent to start with!

I thought you were starting a new trend with the spelling of decent to start with! I have ordered some Hub caps with KIA in silver on a gloss black backround.Dezent wheels are made in Germany and are big there - making wheels for car manufacturers. Their own branded wheels comply with all the European regulations and auto specifications - many wheels on sale here produced by foreign firms, do not. I'm just being unduly cautious.
Oh, Alan, they're so cool. Just look at how much space there is to show off your new Brembo brake caliper covers!
I have used the wrench with the spare or a spider with a length of copper tube left by plumber.
@Surferdude : I am gradually losing physical strength and have found that things I could do easily 20 years ago when I was 60, are now at best difficult and at worst impossible. Add angina to the mix and I am a poor old soul. As I said in my post my wrists have gone - which is not far from the truth. Arthur Righteous is creeping in.The car does not come with a spare wheel or wheel wrench - instead it has one of those ghastly gunge inflation kits. This is why I bought a spare wheel, jack and 4 leg spider wrench which I find more effective. I am now adding a breaker bar for the reason given.
