C5 has very good reviews, personally I use Poorboys wheel sealant to seal mine and Bilberry wheel cleaner.

Went with this, Was going to use C5, but two reasons stopped me, 1 was the price, £25 and thats one application i.e 15ml and two it says it lasts up to a year but im guessing id be spending £75 per year lol, I went with Dom's suggestion for two reasons, one its cheaper and two spending £25 for both with all the applicators means I can do it weekly for a good while before it runs out :)

Should I be worried?!  :huh:

Anyone else see a problem here? Im sure I ordered 4 wheels.....



My first thought was that they have packed 2 wheels in each box and the 3rd box is my fitting kit, But surely that would breach H&S laws for the poor delivery driver?  :undecided:

Yip turn up yest, Rear fit perfectly, infact I could do with lowering the rears further, However the fronts are 0.1mm away from my coilovers so Ive left them off for now and ordered some 15mm hubcentric spacers from creation motorsport and some 40mm locking wheel nuts... a further £80....  :angry: Im not overally happy with the tyre strech but ive seen worse.
Also still waiting for my poor boys wheel sealent to arrive that I ordered two days ago because I want to fully seal them before I fit them.

Untill then here are some pics. (excuse the crappy mobile its my mums, ment to give an idea on the concave)  :grin:

The wheels just don't show their concave in photos compared to seeing them in person haha. Especially the 8.5s.
