I applaud your enthusiasm, but disagree with your taste.

Oh, and I know that the center caps are super dull looking. I painted them with some "chrome" paint after these pics were taken as a temp fix 'til I can get them re-plated. They don't look that bad now...at least until you get up pretty close.

They do look much better in person. I'll get better pics soon. The one daytime pic is also a crappy cell phone pic, too.

Actually, they are temporary 'til I get my OE's fixed. They really are not bad. Have a nice offset that gets the wheels out closer to ther edge of the fenders. I am sorry that they are not the same old 5-star style that 99% of f-bod's have and coincidently, what every sig pic on this thread has. They all look the same blowing by somebody anyway.

please dont spend the money to replate the center caps. NOT worth it IMO. Spend the money on better rims.

Sorry man those rims are horrible. It probaly would look better on an impala, escalade, or etc but not on a T/A. Do your car a favor and buy Bautch24's TTIIs
