I'm almost worried at the size of the lugs on there.. might wear down awful quick.. even if its a harder material.. the gaps are pretty big for it I sur ehope they work well for you though!

I recommend putting some wax on those wheels before you put them on. Also, shoot the center caps with a clear coat so they wont rust.
