I didn't leave my wheels on long enough to see if they scratch
But I hated those painted dots on the wheels/tires

 

Wonder what they'd look like painted gun metal.

 

now yer talkin'......

 

i noticed the same problem after i got my car washed recently, and i only take it to hand wash places. it looks like a brush stroke on a part of the wheel that would be impossible to get scratched by itself.

 

I have 2 scratches on 1 wheel. I think it happened while I was washing the wheel. The mit I used must have picked up a stone from inside the rim and I raked the damn wheel with it. Really sucks. All 4 are perfect other than that.

 

I like the wheels the way they are, stock. One of my friends has an '04 with those tiny rims......ours look so much better, low profile, the way to go.

 

I just picked up a set of brand new '06 rims with tires for $1,000...from a dealer


wow

 

I just wish they were wider, if that was the case I would not need to get aftermarket wheels and I would save a bunch of money.

 

I wish I knew what the blue dot represented before I removed them... nah, it presence bugged me!

If you're looking to pop them off, all I used was a sharp razor blade. I applied light pressure downward and before the edge sank very far, the epoxy like substance split. Now you can apply force sideways to shear it off, leaving you with a clean looking wheel. Take caution not to cut into the finish on the wheel itself.

 

x2 about the fingernail, cept I have a few nicks already
