I have factory late offset 15' phone dials that came stock with my car.... Last week while attempting to clean them, the cleaner i used (don't know what it was) ate away at the surface of them, so as of now they look dirty white.... the first question, is, does anyone know of a good cheap process to repaint them so they look good again?

The second question is, what kinds of tires and sizes do you run on your stock phone dials... i need something that will stick and yet be cheap and "ok" in the wet..... i am running 225/60/15 right now, and i don't really like how high the sidewalls are, but i am afraid it will look odd if i go with a shorter sidewall.,....

Thanks in advance for the help everyone!!!

I have Bridgestone re950's and they seem to be a good all around tire. About 115 each.

I also have Bridgestone Potenza RE950's in the stock 215/60-15 size. I think they are a awesome tire, they stick like gum to your shoe on a hot New York day, and it takes a bunch, and I mean a bunch of water on the road and you driving at 60mph to hydroplane on these. Like the tread design too!
