I would be sceptical about the fitment of those.
They do not specify any specific years and therefore may fit well or may not.

There is a company in the states (don't have their info here at the moment) that does make covers like those in a few colours and are car specific so you know they will fit exactly and they have a bracket that holds them on instead of silicone.

You could clean yours up, paint them with caliper paint and have decals made at a local sign shop for cheaper than those too.

If you do get them post some pics and let us know how it went.

Good Luck

I checked my car. There is no room between caliper and RIM at all. So can't use this thing.

Those do look nice, I'm with DTK though.. I'm just getting red caliper paint and then painting on cobra decals to it.. cheezy and cheap, but it works till i can afford the real deal. Looks to me the covers you're looking at require a certain ammount of space to the rim, so chech it out, and see, maybe they'll fit nicely?
