Ever since I got the car I've been desperate to get the wheels off and put some copper slip on them as I once had wheels that refused to budge when I had a puncture. So a year later I finally got round to it
Although they came off with little persuasion today.
What I did notice was I reckon I could have undone the wheel nuts with a socket on the end of a screwdriver as they were literally only hand tight
The car was in for a service a couple of weeks ago and I wonder if that's how they came off easy and weren't tightened properly!!
While off I took the opportunity to wax the callipers from the S&S package.
To start with
Some G101 (great stuff)
Wax on
Wax off
Some copper slip and a bit of tyre dressing and all back together again

Can't really say I'm impressed by the Nogaro's.
Visually they look great and compliment the car well but on closer inspection the black piano gloss is scratched to hell even although they have been well looked after.
Plus the edge between the black and the diamond cut spoke is really serrated in parts, not a clean join at all.
Not to mention I found a lump of black paint on the inside of one of the wheels!!
