strip off all the old paint,=C2=A0 if they're dinged they fix that (mine we=
re fine) spray them with matching paint and mount the new customer-supplied=
 tires. I bought the Vredesteins from Tire Rack. Rims and new tires picked =
up at local garage in my town, transport included in price.Tire Rack $660 t=
otal, Rim refinish x 4 $ 780 total, mount tires ,weights balance,dispose ol=
d tires $ 164So, all told=C2=A0 $ 1,604. The old Pirellis on close inspecti=
on had no noticeable tread wear but significant cracking on the sidewalls. =
GULP !I called SCP in England, the people that make MINILITES today, and or=
dered the correct fresh centre caps; 6 caps, separate stick-on logos (free)=
