still not registered. but i grabbed a set of mk2 steelies as the mk3's wouldn't clear the coilovers.

also if anyone is thinking of getting these type of painted whitewalls i'd have to say don't. they have only been on the car a little while and they are nearly brown now. shame. looked so good white.

to clean them use a pencil rubber, it takes off all the road grime

nah no good. still brown

yeah, they are brown because the rubber is discoloring them from behind. i found this out with my flappers. i have to paint mine with a leather/synthetic paint every so often. it is a flexible paint so it does not peel, looks great when its first done.
