Where can I find........
Need your help a few of you saw my car at Japfest and like the style of my alloys but they are causing me a bit of hassle. When I bought them I thought nothing of the price as they were a really good deal, but when I went to thave them resprayed I found out why.

As you can see from the picture they are a 2 piece lookalike wheel and what I thought were metal rivets in the wheel have turned out to be plastic, it didn`t help finding this out the week of Japfest as the car was having the wheels prepped for the respray.
The guys at the garage said that there are people about who sell these plastic rivets but can`t seem to find anyone who does.
If anyone can help I`d very greatfull as the wheels are letting the rest of the car down a litttle bit and driving me :mad: lol.

Would have thought the best people to ask is a company that refurbs wheels....try someone like pristine wheels, sure they will point you in the right direction

Just want to explore as many possibilites as I can so I can get them sorted.
What the refurb place said is that they have to warm them up and they pop out but they disform so that they cannot be used again. I`ve sent an e-mail to the guy that I bought them from as well as pristine just waiting on response to see what they say.

Have you tried searching on eBay ?

yeah tried putting a search on ebay but nothing seems to be popping up only plastic trim rviets for plastic panels and undertrays. May have a go and see if I can pop them out myself. If I can I`ll just take the wheels to the refurber with them out and put them back in after they have finished or get them to put them back in.
