The tyres on them are 245/35's. What I want to know is what profile in a 17" tyre would best match it? Also whats the widest you could fit on a 17" rim?Also, anyone know a good place to get them painted? They are black, but I want them silver? Prob just need the face of them painted, maybe could do it myself, but they might need sandblasting to get the black off?The wreckers I bought them off didn't have centre caps and said they never came out with them, but I've seen them.. Where do I get them?Cheers Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henz Tampon inserted, Auto Acquired, next purchase a new handbag Donating Members 9,946 Member For: 16y 10m Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 29/09/11 03:39 AM Share Posted 29/09/11 03:39 AM Powdercoating would last the longest wouldnt it? I use Pro-Cote in Tyabb, they can sandblast as well.I think powdercoating would be $150-$200. Painting would be more than that if they have to strip the paint, unless you just give it a few coats from a can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, clean em, sand em and paint em?Found the centre caps on ebay.. $120 from the wheel king and can pick them up.. Decent amount of coin for 4 plastic caps, but can't find them anywhere else...
