Not overly rare but those are quite pretty. Polished lip is easy to keep clean, its the mesh thats a PITA.

Well I was cooking the high temperature paint on my exhaust manifold in the oven not so long ago (shhhh don't tell the wife)... I guess I could fit a 14 or 15 inch wheel in my dishwasher... I mean anything for an easy life right?

As with any powered cleaned device my first worry is with it damaging the paint/finish on the wheels WHEN brake dust or dirt gets into the cloth.

Anybody know what they fit?

I think they'd look cool on my freshened 85 SD.

Agreed on the mesh, but gotta disagree on the lips. Clean is one thing, but keeping that mirror-like shine is a whole different ballgame.
