Here are the pics with the gloss black caps on pressed graphite. I didn't push it all the way in but the fitment is perfect. They are just friction fit as there is no lip to grab on to the center of the SL.

I wonder if these will hold up on track and not melt.

It is pretty good! I went glossy because the wheel is very glossy... but I do like the matte look as well. The matte cap looks more track focused. The gloss cap is a clean show look.

As much as these cost, I'd just buy another set if I wanted the matte!

Has anyone noticed if the prongs scratch up the inside?

The te37 specific adapters seem to be pressure fit with rubber O rings vs these with the plastic prongs.

It's plastic on metal, the plastic is softer than metal and doesnt scratch.

That said, I've taken mine off. I like the look without caps more than with caps.

Good to know it doesn’t scratch. I also prefer the look without caps. I think it makes it look more concave without caps.

I wonder if there’s a smaller circular disc that’s pressure fit inside so it still looks capless and just covers up my rusty hubs.
