Question Are these rims re-painted looking?

I mean, re=painted the wrong silver color? I'm buying some rims from Mike, but if he falls through, these look good. But I would hate to have rims that dont match standard silver center caps.

Opinions?

Hmm. Those look like early offset, so even if the cap matches all purty, they won't fit. Or are my eyes deceiving me?

they definately look to be the wrong colour to me, BUT the regular "yellow" light bulb in the room may have given it a different hue. You can't trust colours taken under regular lightbulbs, they give everything an orangy hue!

BTW they look like late offset to me, but if they are early offset, they might still fit - just barely.

They look a little strange, but maybe they're just in really good condition. . . Have you asked the seller?

Also, they are early offset.

951.362.114.00 - Shows up on PET as being from an '86

951.362.114.01 - Shows up as being from an '87.

I would guess those wheels are early offset, though someone may want to verify that.

No they won't fit your car Andy.
I like the color of those much better than the factory silver.

Yep, early offset for sure.

They look pretty close to the correct color, but as already stated, under that light, it's rather difficult to tell.
FWIW, I've never had a set of center caps match my wheels...
