What Have You Bought Today?

Not today but last Friday I had a set of Michelin Agilis Cross Climates (216/60/17) fitted to my Devonports replacing the original Conti Van Contacts. The tyres were clean and shiny after fitting but a 6 mile drive in crappy weather soon took care of that and they're now nearly as dirty as the wheels. I've had hub caps and silver bolt covers on the wheels for ages now but was thinking of going back to the original 'star caps' (which I've now taken off again) - any thoughts?

Star caps are ok, but betterer are floating hub caps & black OEM bolt covers, with the proper removal tool:

Black bolt covers and no stars for me. Nice new tyres…. just wish they did these in 18”.
 
It's all a matter of personal opinion and taste but some things are just going too far for me - IMHO, those hub caps are just a few steps into too flash. As for the bolt covers, you would have to be an idiot to pay £80 for a set of branded ones when you can get an otherwise identical set on non-branded for a 10th of that. As IO say, it's just my opinion, not offence intended....
