Default New shoes.. what do you think?

I picked these up as a trade. The clear is peeling but they are perfect otherwise. I think I will remove the clear and polish them.
What do you think?

I just saw a set of those on ebay yesterday, but the ARE caps looked way bigger than yours. I've been wanting a set of CCW Classics for my 92, these look close to it.

I bet they look good on the C4 and will look even better with a good polish.

Sweet! Cant wait to see them on the ride!

If you remove the clear... You MAY want to re-clear them... Polishing aluminium rims SUCKS! Lots of spokes and little nooks and crannies too! Means more to clean

I have another set at my beach house in Arizona. I can have my mail order bride ship them to you via Hokie Express. Just send me cash in an envelope.
