I recently bought these mags 2nd hand for my wagon (I know they are not bling or pimped but on my budget they are a vast improvement on stock rim and i kinda like em). Anyhow one is missing a centre cap and was wondering:
A: what they are worth?
B: Best place to get em?
C: What aftermarket options that might be better?
And before anyone suggests it i will be painting rotors as soon as i get back after christmas.
Actually any suggestions re the best/ longest lasting paint would be handy.
Cheers all
Damian

You can still get the caps from the dealer. There is a really good caliper paint available from most automotive stores.
The factory fitted these wheels to the US exports, and on the top model were chromed - they looked really good!!!

...(I know they are not bling or pimped but on my budget they are a vast improvement on stock rim and i kinda like em)...Totally agree with you there - they look heaps better than stock steelies & plastic trims.
As for paint, just go into your local Autopro, Autobarn, Supercheap, etc. and ask where the Brake Caliper or Engine paint is. Then it's just a matter of selecting which colour you want.

I was hoping to get some feedback on which brands last/hold their colour a little longer than others. Not all heat resist/caliper paint is created equal. The stuff my dad recommends is no longer made.
