Has anyone fitted these centre caps to their car's alloys?

Haha that actually looks pretty cool...Rolls Royce style, and I've seen them on the road and the cap looks cool. Maybe I'll get some if they're cheap and actually quality...?

Cool feature.. But a lot of money for something you will never see working yourself (I suppose we don't drive our car with our heads out of the window).

I like the way all four badges will be the right way up when parked! It appeals to the car geek side of me!

I'm not sure how long they would keep spinning for though?

I had seen a nice red Porsche around town that a lady drives and noticed that her center caps were not spinning as she drove by. They are small but when you see the car moving and the center caps standing still it really stood out. Really neat. I was wondering where she got them.

That is some big bucks for them.

Ralph Boothe developed the no-turn-technology center caps for Porsche wheels quite some time ago. Rolls Royce copied them (I believe he's suing them), and these look like knock-offs as well, though a lot cheaper than his (which are jewelery quality).
