Eurotek lm replicas

Im pretty sure i wanna go with the 18" eurotek lm replicas...classic style, clean look.

Any ideas on best place to order? Can they be disassembled for painting?

Thanks

I got mine one ebay brand new from a distributor in California. They are one piece construction with rivet inserts to mimic the bolts on actual two piece wheels. Eurotek wheels are made by MRR wheels and I know carid.com sells them.

Thanks. I wonder how challenging to paint centers?

I have the ESM LM reps and am wondering the same thing. I got the last set from ESM in the sizes that fit our cars but they only had 2 front silver centers and 2 rear gunmetal centers. They gave me a deal so I could repaint them but ended up just plasti-dipping the centers with their true metallic silver. I am thinking about peeling it off and actually painting it since it will look better.

I think actually painting them would be more difficult since you need to mask off each rivet.

I love mine. As said before, they are one-piece. I just painted mine gloss black. Here they are for $880 shipped...

Did you do the whole wheel in gloss black or just the centers? Got pics?

I think gloss black center, brushed lip on a sparkling grey metallic would be sweet.

They're even cheaper here ($760 shipped), though I don't know anything about the seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/18X8-5-9-5-E...5feccb&vxp=mtr

I'm considering a set for myself now...
