Yep i still remember your red 16v with them on  :tongue:

Any cleaning tips?

i reckon black would set it off just right!! suit it well as you have the black arches and side trim

If i change the colour i'd go satin or matt black  :smiley:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

, a toothbrush, a lot of patience and 5 or 6 coats of wheel wax = Jetwash and job was a goodun

Wheels look really good :afro:

As for cleaning them, if they are anything like mine I dread having to do it! :grin:

Make sure you give them a good few coats of wax, something like collinite 476, it will make it a million times easier in the future. Then all you'll need is a small wheel brush and a spray on cleaner like bilberry or something similar :wink:
