The rover clips will wreck the paint on your wheels though...

Evening, I got them from here http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ARIESWITHSCORP ... 7675.l2563" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, I wasn't expecting them to be any good really but they're made from good embossed vinyl. Loads of colours/styles available. :ok

Not sure about the rover ones they may clip onto the outer rim like the beauty rings, either way you should just push them on.
Yes^^ just line them up and push/bang them on, they clip under the edge of the wheel. It was thanks to this thread I decided to get a set myself, there's loads for sale around 10-15 quid.Image

:ok

I like. Am very tempted to do the same. You got any photos of them on the van? Do you have the beauty rings with yours?

Yeh that one looks lovely, but has the beauty rings. I'm interested to see them fitted without the rings.

Ah, I must be being stupid. I thought the white trim were white beauty rings - I guess they're just painted wheels?
