The 315s are long gone. They were cracked all over. I know people buy them, but these weren't even safe for the car to sit on. And no, it was one 275 and two 315s. I still have the 275 goodyear. Also, I have no clue what year C4 the wheels came off of. Has to be an 88-96 because the offset sits perfect, as you can see in pics. The 275 does have a DOT number, but I don't know how to decode it. Since it's not like today's date codes.

My favorite wheels for the C4 chassis! I too lucked out on a set (18s) and after some cleaning they look beautiful. That car looks great with the polished FM5s
have you priced out new centercaps? I'll be needing 1 as well

. Yes I did call Alan, from Fikse, yesterday. He told me each center cap Will cost me $35. But that was the price for a blank cap. Like the ones I have on my fronts. Not sure if the caps with the Fikse logo will cost the same though. Shipping was a lot though, 50 bucks from Canada.Elis, don't forget to post up pics! I still need to post up better ones.

No, the car has not been resprayed. I got the door handles painted a few months ago. Because one of the PO's did a bad paint job on the door handles, in black. That's why I did it. Plus, I think it looks better painted in ruby red!
