You are correct 5x100 and I would keep the ugly ones for winter wheels and just get some decent winter tires for them. Swap spring/fall.. What I might be doing this next year. It was so bad that I was running snow chains here for almost a full week. It would have been two weeks if I had not been out of town for a one week.

Duplicolor makes some wheel paints, but I have not used them so I couldn't tell ya how well they work. But prep is key for any paint project. Spend $10 worth of time in prep you get back $20 in finish

My personal thanks to veteran and novice crewbies that have offered information and how-to's they have been instrumental in taking LiquidPT from modded car to stock to live a more quiet and sedate life.
