Actually if you jack the car up and spin the wheels real fast, you can paint em right through the spokes....

If you're going to do that, might as well take it to Maaco

I was seriously contemplating the idea of buying these from a Bangkok based eBay seller last year. Fortunately, I happened to chance upon these on a Mitubishi Lancer here in Boston. They looked so fake. The reason being that from an angle, one can' help but notice that its a *cover* that does not go all the way around the rotor, but just covers the front portion of the caliper.
