Not only are they not NOS, they're not even the right colour. Factory TC wheels are supposed to be grey between the spokes, not black. I made my old TC wheels look just like those for a total investment of $20 and two hours work:

Oops thanks. I searched for "NOS" and they came up and I assumed they were.

Yeah I hand sanded mine smooth and polished them. I think it cost me about $20 as well, but it took me a hell of a lot longer than two hours. I didn't clear coat mine so I have to polish the wheels about twice a year.
