"up to VIN 1883—must have gray wheels with gray wheel caps...


from VIN 1884—must have silver wheels with black wheel caps"

In regards to the rims...

The earlier production DeLoreans featured Dark Grey rims. They are quite rare to find NOS versions in the boxes. They were only produced I think through VIN #1200 or something like that. Then DeLorean later changed over to the Silver ones you see a lot of today.

My wheels are in the original boxes. looks like they where taken off or orderd with the car new? The boxes have part #'s on them and say grey. I need 1 rear to have the set then I want to put them on the car.

The above is from the concours manual...
I thought it was posted in the Resources section...I cant get it to U/L (?too big, 25 M?).

You can stlll get the trim...but one piece, from DMCH #42 (http://store.delorean.com/c-319-8-7-5-general-interior-trim.aspx) .

I know someone who has the dark grey rims on theirs (VIN 1555). You don't see many of those for sure!

I was selling the wheels, but now that I know they are actually the wheels that are supposed to be on the car, I will be getting some nice white letter tires and installing them. The other pressing issue is that interior piece. I really need it. I am a very picky person and I am making this car extra clean and detailing every part on it. Come summer I will be taking the suspension all apart and replacing and repainting/ powder coating all of it to make it look perfect. I also plan on driving this car allot! So it must hold up to many miles.

Thank you so much, I will be following that judging sheet to the tee! I want my car to be prefect original. Eventually I want to buy a crappy delorean to have some fun with and mod.

It looks like the bolster is sold as part of that whole inner trim assembly

however, it looks like DMCH only have the RH side available. You could call them and see if they have an old one from one of their refurbishments, perhaps.

The end caps are available, though.

Mine is missing the opposite side. If my grandmother was still around I'd just give her the one I had, she's dismantle and sew up two new ones. I've considered trying an upholstery shop.

[Cory W]

I have the driver side out of my car. It's a plasticy piece, pretty much the same as the larger panel it's attached to. I still need to reskin it to match the panel reskin I'm doing.

Depending on your luck with DMCH, what about Midwest, PJ Grady, or Josh at DPI? Any or all of them may be able to help you out.

It looks like the bolster is sold as part of that whole inner trim assembly...No good for concours (that's VIN 6093 up).
I peeled my left armrest and took material from an old panel to recover it and replaced the end cap...note there are two different caps as well.
