got to put some Poorboys wheel sealant on first  :grin: :grin:

How many coats you going to put on mate? Need to do this to mine before getting my tyres. Think i'm going to go for some falkens as well. Can't really beat that price for a good reviewed tyre.

that's what i've got one mine :afro:

keeps the safe and makes cleaning them so much easier too!

continental sport contacts for me, 125 a corner :)

gotta send one of the rims back first tho as not quite happy with the finish on it

whats everyone doing about the centre caps, i.e getting them tight so they dont get robbed? think im gonna order a bbs tool through my mate at the dealer

will be jetsealing mine and giving them a good coat of wax

yeah been lookin at these, do you think it will be safe to use, eg- wont mark them??

also id recomend some copper slip on the underside of the caps where it meets the wheel just so they dont stick on!

i noticed some corosion marks on the underside of my caps ( original untreated), did you? nothing major and i know you dont see it but i dont want it to spread and eventually go onto the outside under the paint... gonna  get my sander out and sand them off to be safe and paint the underside of the caps  :cool:

should be - Steve_PD has one so he's the best person to ask - i've not got mine yet so can't honestly say but its the one he has recommended  :smiley:

yeah i do that whenever i take the wheels off etc - especially with all the grime on the roads recently  :sick:

yeah noticed a couple of marks on the caps but nothing too serious  :smiley:

just can't wait to get them fitted now!
