Looks like standard hole plugs from a hardware store would work for those.
I think they'd look great on a Festy.Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

Those would look really nice. But:
-How do they fit; most of all, offset?
-What do they weigh?
-Will the mag bolt lug-centric fit result in a smooth, balanced roll, or is it just asking for trouble?
If they fit and roll well, and weigh less than 15 pounds each, yup. Better to weigh less than that though. Less than 12 pounds would be very worth it, with performance to match the looks.

They measure 14x6 and weigh in at 13.5 lbs. they do have a rwd offset. I did have to switch over to lug studs and buy a full set of lugnusts as well(something to consider if price is a deciding factor) Before I sold the car I was in search of hubsentric rings to better balance them as the mag lugs still left a bit of room for movement. I'll see if I can dig up some old pictures.Automotive Misfit
