I’ve only ordered once before on Indigogo - but it was successful. I put my order in last week for the Orbitals. I’m told they will be here in April.

Yeah I agree. The covers don’t look great unless the tire is shined. I don’t plan on doing that all the time. I wonder if I should switch to the silver color. May look better on my msm 3. I hope someone sends pictures of the silver one soon.

Right away because Indigogo is not “ordering” - it’s contributing or donating. You get a “perk” of the product.

i do a roadtrip using the exact same route of 1100km frequently (we only have one road for 1600km haha). will see if theres any noticeable difference.
Honestly, thats how it is with any rim. The entire wheel looks better when the tire is cleaned with tire shine. The difference is that the rim will also get dusty/dirty at the same time so it's less noticeable than what pictures in this thread shows.
Examples:
Anyone want my black orbitals? I'm never gonna be able to keep my tires clean and shiny enough. PM me if so.
And a word of warning: either use a suction cup, a wood chisel, or a nonflexible putty knife to remove the center cap. Even a small screwdriver isn't sharp enough to get under the lip, and you can easily scratch the bejesus out of the cap if it doesn't. Of course also use a cloth or other item to protect the face of the wheel cover if you pry against it. The other three caps and all the overs are mint condition, and none of them has been on except for the minutes used to take pictures for this thread.

just put sealant or ceramic coating on them. you probs should put at least spray rinseoff sealant on the car anyway. The rotatry force of the wheels will keep the aeros look brand new.
my aeros always look brand new because of that.

FYI, I purchased this suction cup and I can confirm that it removes the center cap.

Yeah it does look good, but you must admit you can't see much of 'em when their dark black.
Now the silver one's should really make the M3's with the chrome trim "pop"
