RE Amemiya wheels question

i m about to buy a set of 2nd hand AW-7 wheels, but the centre wheel caps has been missing, just wondering if anyone knows can i order them separate from re amemiya? and will they be expensive for just the wheel caps?

errmm...i have another question!

look at this gold color.....(in the first picture)
and the gold color in the second picture (which i will be getting),
they dont seems right.....(not very gold)
and the third pic shows RE Amemiya only made 4 colors, so the second pic do u think it is color faded due to age, or there is such a color?
the problem is i m buying this rims interstate and i cannot have a look at the real thing. any advice is helpful thank you.

They might just be dirty, and the picture has poor light. See if you can get a better picture of the wheels. If you have him take a close up picture of one of the wheels, and have him use the flash, it should show you how they'll look.

Nah, I don't really care for them either, but to each his own. I'll take just about everything else Amemiya-san has to offer though, haha.

There heavy. If there anything like my 17" nismo wheels they where 21lbs per wheel roughly.

ask for daylight shots of the wheels to bring out the color in them. It seems that its a crappy pic maybe from a high end camera phone or somthing like that.
