So, are they chrome rings in the pictures? or Alumn/Titanium rings? There's a little camera blur around the rings, so maybe they look titanium or aluminum to me.

Come to think of it I can live without them then yours is an excellent job though!!

DocMike,
Sorry to hear that you had a hard time. That was an adventure. It took me 45 minutes to install my gauge rings without any problems. 30 minutes to take the cluster apart and 15 minutes to snap the rings in and snap the cluster back. Also the seller eurosportgarage is based in NV

I finally found a place and got a set of gray overlay for my X5. The end result was pretty good. The person that I contacted was Justin Smith from [email protected].

I can email them to you, for I don't have a server to upload.
