Alright thanks I tried finding them on eBay for a cheaper price but it seems like I won't have such luck I can't even find a fit for my 97 CL do you remember the price by any chance? So you think they are worth the price?

This brand claims to produce less dust than most aftermarket brand I was just wondering if this is true. The less dust I can have on my rims the better
