Thanks Smile I wanted to finish the job today but the weather is not playing ball.. Can only look outside in disappointment lol.

On the plus side the refurbed lips are holding up well, been treated to some Collinite wax and so far no surface rust, I have decided not to relaquer them as that's what causes the problem in the first place, just got to stay on top of the maintenence once they fitted I guess.

Djones Collinite is a great wax but have you though of using poorboy wheel polish as it stops the build up of brake dust

Another great wheel sealant is "Wheel Seal and Shine". Sounds naff, but its a top-end product.

Keeps my bare alu rims safe from water marking etc..

Cheers fella, I've ordered some Smile

I'm hoping to have the wheels on tomorrow, got a fitting kit from Halfrauds bit of a bargain actually at £20- I say bargain, they prob priced it wrong lol.

Weather is still being a PITA though, nearly finished the final wheel.

Okay lads - Fitted the wheels today, I don't think I am very happy with them to be honest... makes the car sit too high, even on lowering springs.

It gets worse, front two are on limit so will need replacing and the tyres have been streched, they are running 215-35-18 so to replace the Toyo's that are on there to the same spec I am looking at about £240.

Do you think that's why it looks like it's sitting so high as they are running some crazy profile?

Pics in the morning.

Thank you, yes mate Bonnet is painted VW off road grey, the same colour as the wheels, mirrors, grill and lip spoiler.

I took them off for now Ormi till I decide whether to get four new tyres in the correct size or just ebay them.
