this way also means you can change the colour of them when you feel like it  :grin:

remember its hammerite so you dont have to get them sparkly clean first.

i have always had alloys on my cars through the years, i have never put steel wheels on in winter! but i am rather anal about keeping my car clean, i have never had any problem! just keep them clean, but i suppose it is a good idea if your not going to clean your car every week!

Hey,

I'd just stick alloys on!

I've had the same set for a couple of years and the're fine. I'm pretty slack at washing them too, and my god they can get filthy! (I live in Wales....land of the mud!)
