Upgrades 36. Satin Black Apollos

Not much to say on this other than I've never been a fan of the diamond cut apollos. Diamond cut wheels have a tendency to corrode easily, but also I don't think they look great on my car. My original wheels had been stacked up in the garage unused for over a year and a chance came up with another Caterham friend to swap them with a newly powder coated set of satin black apollos which I couldn't refuse. He also gave me some black centre cap stickers to finish off the effect.

I'm still on the fence as to whether I prefer them all black with black lug nuts, or if I prefer them with a slight contrast, here with the original Chrome lug nuts. I've got some white covers to try on the nuts as well but my car is now having throttle bodies put on and not with me a the moment. I'll post some pictures with the white lug nuts, and possibly white centre caps, once I get it back.
