Fitz Foreign car junk yard in Seattle area had 405 mags for $100 ea . The
bolts are $15 ea new and the center caaps are $35 at least. There is
another yyyyyyard just down the road that has several 405's
They guy wasn't cheap but I ccould find his number. I think the wheels from
Disortex new are $100 ph.1-800-833-3839. I got an extra set when I bought
my S, I put them on my DL that never had caps BIG imprrovement. I'm short
10 wheel bolts if you come across some extras let me know. A word from the
too soon late wise: the mags caps fall off really easily. When I got my S I
lost 3 in 2 days if I ever get more, I'm short 7, I'll glue them on with
silicone then pry them loose when the time comes. Where are you I could let
you know if I find set some where near you , I'm aalways looking for stuff.
I'd like to find a 405 for parts I'll go to the edge of the earth.
