Are the dishes just smooth metal?

My last ones where a pig to keep clean but polished up looked the nuts.

If they arnt lacquered just don't let brake dust settle on them.... I mean I cleaned mine everyday!

no dishes are some silver/very light gold looking paint, i will be making them bare metal polish them up etc but that much later down the road.

since they put them on tho when i break i can hear something rubbing! thinking maybe its the weights they put on as there is not much of a gap from breaks to the back of the alloys!

these are my old tyres, couldn't wait to get new ones. when i do get new ones thinking 175/50 or 195/45 but yes the front end needs lowering very much so. just no C spanners.

Under heavy breaking or all he time? Could be tyres catching the coilovers

Easiest ray to check is have a look on the inside tyre wall, and see if it's warn at all

Little update: but its the little things that make the big things look better ;-)

ok so wanted some center caps when i came across a little DIY with golf mk4 center caps here it was.

Step 1: remove ring and take off little lugs. i shaved them down.
