Do you wear these while driving the car so your hands don't get dirty from the steering wheel?

Hi Michael,
I don't plan on driving the car any soon and each wheel has 3 nuts in it, I ordered some from Minisport S.A and i should have them Monday. Thanks for the offer.


@willy: I Do! but mine are black.

does anyone know the offset of the wheels i have on now? I have been trying to look for them on the net but no luck.
I would like to get some new 10" wheels but i am not sure what will and wont fit. I currently have 3 week old Falken 165/70/10 FK07E
I want something with the same design.

Nothing wrong with your wheels, but the tyres are crap, I used em years ago. Get some A032R or A008 Yokohamas on it...

They are pitted and i tried cleaning one today and the paint started to strip off :/

The guy paid $119 each for the tyres.. How bad are they haha?
I had 13" yoko A539's on and they did quite well.

Wheels just need a refurb. If you get a spare you can do them yourself and keep your car on the road.

They are not worth that----
The only good thing about FK07Es is they are too hard to wear out.
I found wheelspin in the dry and no grip in the wet.

My Contessas were crappy and came up fine with some sanding, paint and polish.

I might consider getting new tires..

The rim of the wheel turned out ok but when i attacked the center with a polishing disc it started to strip paint.. I wont be driving the car for a couple of weeks so i might sand them back and paint them, Will normal acrylic in a can work?

I just stripped mine right back, then painted them with VHT's gloss black acrylic enamel. It's holding up well. But it is good paint. Autobarn still has it, Supercrap don't.
The rims I wet sanded with 400, 800 and 1200 then polished with Mothers mag wheel polish.

I will give that a go
I'll try and get some paint tomorrow.
Did you clear coat yours?

NO clear coat!
It's more trouble than it's worth, on wheels.
Just polish the rims once a year with mag polish.
