No.. but I'd guess I'd have to see a before and after to be sure. So where'd you pick them up at?

Return to stock rings, IMO its the only thing that looks good, which is why Audi went with it lol

Looks like I'll be having fun cleaning off the adhesive then too. I can't wait for next weekend. Did the 3M Painter's Tape leave any residue?
Nope, and it never does. Even with the applied heat. =D

What I have been seeing lately on the interwebs is black surround, black car and a silver, almost metallic silver but not chrome rings. Maybe a matte/flat silver as it doesn't reflect. That looks ballin with e-codes and some machine faced rims.

Now I have to admit, that looks good. Its not as bright of a red, I mean you can hardly see it in the thumbs. It also matches great with the red lip! Good job man!
