I have the same wheels on my Notchback. It cost me $100.00 each to have them fully polished. Basically, the metal shop had to grind down the anodized areas, and buff them out. If the wheels you have are not repro, you will need some xtra long lug bolts or studs. I made studs for mine by using Kubota diesel tractor cylinder head bolts,and cutting off the hex end. Got the lug nuts and the center caps from Barret Enterprises. They look way cool. Tom Carrington BBTSQP8@bell-atl.com 88 Vanagon 65 Notchback
