mctwistuk Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Got these fitted today due to my recent crack issue we discovered on Sunday. Also got some shiny new nuts at the same time Was going for gloss black but the shiny silver won in the end. Will have the oz's up for sale when I can get pics taken etc. Big thanks again to Scott(scoobywho) for sourcing them for me. Edited June 5, 2013 by mctwistuk Link to comment
scooby222 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 looks good but think I actually preffered the black! does the new nuts mean youl be a bit braver at Kames next time? Link to comment
g1983 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I hope that's not the old nut covers that you have reinstalled. You should always install new ones to stop the build up of corrosion. Link to comment

nipps240 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Did prefer the colour of the old ones more but that's just my opinion. No excuses for being a passenger on the next meet now though Link to comment
mctwistuk Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 When you are on a budget guys and didn't plan on outlaying for a new set of alloys the choice is limited and I haved had black wheels on cars for a while and to be honest fancied a change. It really is just an expensive toy as it is not my daily driver but i wouldn't change that for the world. I have been away from scoobs a few times now and always end up back. I have met so many great people though the cars which is one of the reasons I always end up back behind the wheel of one. And for info my new nuts arent't bigger but they do fit a lot better and are more streamlined for speed lol. Link to comment

g1983 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Got to be rim wax or turtlewax nano tech wheel wax. Apply to clean wheels, makes cleaning easier. Link to comment

Technical question here for the detailers, how do I care for my nice new wheels The protectors look quite good, they are cheap from there. I use supaguard wheel protectant spray on work in with a brush and cloth off once dry Link to comment
mctwistuk Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 ok so i just gave the wheels there first wash today and to say it was time consuming is an under statement. they are so fidly and i wondered what wee tools everyone used to make cleaning wheels easier? i have one of those wash gloves with mircrofibre worm like things but even that was a hassle. cheers chris Link to comment
scoobywho Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 You need to get someone with small fingers not your stumpy ones. That wash mit you have sounds more like a love glove Link to comment
