Bally 0 Posted December 15, 2003 The rims looks sweet, myn aren't thats clean, but will sort them when the weather perks up.. BTW do you use any alloy polish stuff on them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted December 15, 2003 all I've done it used paint stripper to get the lacquer off them. I haven't had any polish on them at all yet. Not had any bother with the going 'furry' yet either. They'll be coming off soon anyway, I'm going 5 stud with wide track soon and putting the polished speedlines on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joebloggsVR69 0 Posted December 15, 2003 Wont they rust without the laquer? :? I had similar wheels and the guy at the refurb. shop told me not to get em done! He said they'd out live the car in their original state, but removing the lquer would kill em within 12 months :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted December 15, 2003 rust? they're forged aluminium you fool. They will get white furry marks on them if you never clean them, but if you wash them once a week and polish them every other week they're fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joebloggsVR69 0 Posted December 15, 2003 rust? they're forged aluminium you fool. Yeah thanks for that, I realised that 10mins after I posted :oops: But they do go all scabby, or 'furry' as you put it.. My bro in law's Estorils suffered that after he got em polished like mirrors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhatVR6 0 Posted December 16, 2003 Polished wheels don't take much looking after. Better to run steel wheels and winter tyres in the winter though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
