i kinda like the regular center.... when you make it black its hard to see the damn rims . i plan on doing that on the POS $20 17" rims i bought. cause i don't want people to see how ugly they are

Be real careful taking them apart. I've heard horror stories about people doing that. You take it apart and the rim itself goes into an oval shape and you can't put the centers back in. This like that.



Let a wheel shop fix the curb rash and powdercoat them. Its not that expensive. Let me know if you want to do that. I can give you some people to get ahold of that do real nice work.

They will look nice on your car though.





Make sure the center bore of the wheel fits on over the hub on your car, since they came off a supra. You might need to get the little hub rings to make them work.
