Yes, I have them. Made in Germany and there's a thread about them, with pictures.

They are covers as the actual chrome plated plastic rings are complex shapes and cannot be made from CF at a reasonable price (I piad about a hundred bucks I think.) The covers require considerable work to make them look good and don't come with any adhesive...sort of hokey, but with patience they do actually work.

cheers,
