    Gauge cluster rings.

    I got another cluster and went to order a set of metal rings for it. And found most of the people who sell these things on ebay are changing over to the cheap plastic ones. They are a totally different shape also. They aren't rounded off like the ones offered before. I did find one seller on there that did have the old style. Lets just hope his add was corect, and i don't get the new style ones.


    Just a heads up, to let everyone know.

          Dude, I think they were the vendor who I first got the wrong rings from. Many of them still use that same pic even though their suppliers are sending them the plastic shitty ones. Let me know when you get them. I am sick of sending shit back.

              I guess when I do my new cluster, I'll by keeping my current face. Especially since it's an M3 face, and my rings are glued in. :D

                Bad thing about me is, i got 3 other clusters with rings in them already. I'm just being a whore and what to try something different with this one.

                  Hey Jason, if your looking for the non-shiny matte silver then those are the one. I actually bought from the same guy a couple months back and have rings still sitting here on my desk. I'll try to take some close up pics and will post in a little.

                        Sorry I wasn't offering to sell. Just trying to clarify that its the matte silver rings. Similar to the rings on e46 m3.

                            If you end up with the polished ones, just shoot them with a flat clear coat to get the matte finish.

                            *Edit, or you could just use some 1000 grit sandpaper to dull them out a little. I don't care for the chrome looking rings either.
