Look Good and what one would expect.

I'd go to the local tyre shop and get them to take the tyres off all of them. Put them on the ground to see if they are warped. Do you know any one with a lath and get the gutter rash removed. use paint stripper to remove paint and re coat the Gloss black or your Favorite colour. Go back to you Lath man and polish the outer edge with differnat grades of wet and dry and then polish the fins.
Are the Centre caps alloy are chromb
