looks pretty good as it is. i do like the tt wheels. they look awesome polished up but it is a pretty big job

Cheers mate :)

When you say big job do you mean the polishing or maintaining of them?

Both, i think!  :grin:

Maintaining them I wouldn't mind, I'd get somewhere to machine polish them though.

if you get someone to polish them for you then its not too bad but you will definately need to keep on top of them and winter use will be out of the question really.  i ruined my bbs splits in 3 weeks last winter...

you could get them polished and laquered but if moisture gets under the laquer (which it will) then you cant do anything. at least you can repolish tarnished wheels.

i am about to polish another set of bbs lips and i recon there's about 5 hours work in each rim.

at least the audi wheels are a nice flat profile

for what my opinion matters, i like the twin lights!

So what happened to doing something different.

What is the patch under the rubbing strip.

Wayne, it takes time to be different. You should know what with your car choices.  :grin:

Thanks for the info lewis, I think I'll look into polishing as a short term option for wheels, as I quite like these and then I'll be a bit more adventurous when funds allow.

Alright Tibbs, calm down.  :grin: It does transform it doesn't it. I think I'm going to keep them on, at least until I sort something else out which will be some time yet. Almost looks like the covers a colour-coded.
