    What next ?

    5 spokes are refurbished and fitted with new center caps Think I've talked myself out of fitting spacers to pull the wheels flush. Snow foamed the sand off it and its washed up quite nicely

    First wash since doing the wheels, it didn't take much effort to clean them but I still needed to get my wheel brush inside using wash n wax and sponge over the outside

    That sounds very impressive to last that long. Mine are on now so we'll see how well the Turtle Wax stuff lasts
  4. Contact Paul at Whifbitz, they used to have one you could download and then cut out the template to try in your wheel
  5. Here's one on EBC website, not sure if it helps https://ebcbrakes.com/race-motorsport-articles/ebc-brakes-racing-brake-kit-wheel-fitment-clearance-templates/

    Yep got them swapped over. Looking at new center caps now
  10. Isn't there a template on here you can copy and use to see if your wheels clear certain calipers ? I could be wrong but worth a look

    Just found this video which makes interesting viewing
  13. Get it on a ramp and check the fuel system from front to rear is the only advice I can give

    Thanks for the replies guys, I'm going to give the Turtle wax a try, never bothered on wheels before so we'll see how well it performs. I'm on a tight schedule as the wheels get fitted at 2pm Monday, I found the turtle wax on Amazon and arrives today so I can do the whole of the wheel inside and out before fitting

    Thanks for the reply, do you find it lasts very long ? One review I've just read says its good but doesn't last long enough

    What are you guys using ? Been told this is really good Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro Graphene Flex Wax My refurbished wheels get fitted on Monday afternoon so was thinking I'd give them the once over before they go on

    Thankfully the powder coat shop is only 4 miles away, drove very sedately with gentle braking

    Good to hear from you Chris, I shall be fitting the genuine AMG's I bought now, they're off to be refurbished tomorrow. Just been to the shop to check the process out they use and glad to say all looks good, they mask off the hub face and spigot bore and the wheel bolt cones. Just got to carefully squeeze 4 18" alloys in my 2 seat hairdressers toy

    F1 2023!!!

    Lawson did a great job, Verstappen was unbeatable, Mercedes strategy went tits up and Sky really need to get their facts straight regarding LeClerc, according to him he called the pit stop just before the pit entry

    Just a shame the offsets don't bring them out enough, especially the rears and I'm not sure about fitting spacers to this
  22. Dnk

    JR Alloys

    Yes for sure. I'm quite surprised how many wheel manufacturers there are since I started looking. I've almost giving up as most don't answer emails regarding offsets etc Think I'll just refurb the 18" AMG 5 spokes I bought and be done with it

    Yes it appears quality control isn't the best so I wont be buying any
