i was searching on craigslist and found some e30 bottle caps for $125 for 5 wheels and tires with 80% tread left i got to texting the guy he still has them and said he'd take $100 for all 5. now the question is are they worth it and what would be a good color to paint them even though my car is mix matched color right now I'm thinking gold or black or white.

I'd jump on that deal so fast! $100 for 5? Yes please!

Bottlecaps look good on EG's

I'd pick them up for that price - good tires on them makes that deal a steal :thumb:

I did a quick search for "bottlecaps" and found these:

Yup! We're still like, best friends, so he'd probably pick them up and hold onto them until he came to see me again when it warms up.

might be a little bit corroded around the center cap by the looks of this, or it might just be dirty but I'm liking them the more i look at them
