Today an NOS set of those plastic, chromed Stronglight dust caps cost over 40 bucks and sometimes even higher at eBay and most used ones are either badly tarnished or all mangled up at the removal slots...... I have not bought any of the nOS ones yet because it just feels crazy to me to spend so much on two pieces of frankly, cheesy looking, chromed plastic, NOS or not!
At least the Campy caps being discussed are metal....right?
Yes, Campagnolo stayed with metal on these. I see no reason to not wanting to look "Pro" though, even today. Leave them off.
