JamieP Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 All good then. Even over winter, used regularly??! Yup, every chance i get, was out in it today, If its dry out it grips just fine this time of year, if any salt goes on the roads i will avoid using it till its washed away, but thats about it. Bit of a random question Jamie, what road tires do you run? R888's summer and pilot sports in the winter, although i have the drag radials on at the min.

This is an old rim Ibrar did a test on to see if i liked it, i think it will look stunning and should be easy to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thats lush mate, bet your looking forward to those. I'm not fully up to scratch with the procedure, is it going to be done on the same material on the alloy, I supposed it would have to be done on a two or three peice rim? I've one peice wheels and considering a refurb, but would like a nice polished rim, considering my options. Does it have to be a particular grade of alloy?

Stonkin Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Some Gtechniq C5 wheel armor will really protect those wheels Jamie.

Stonkin Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Its good stuff mate. Just make sure that the rims are totally free of any oily residues or it wont bond correctly. Give them a good alcohol wipe down inside and out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
