Re: Me new RS GT's!!!

Looking wicked Dovit! I see the H&R's are holding up nicely aswell. I'd give it a few months before you want to spank some 312mms on her. I found as soon as I got a nice set of alloys my attention kept getting drawn to the brakes and it was'nt long before I decided a brake upgrade was required. But yeh, fantastic set of wheels dude.

Me thinks they mean to polish the wheels then seal tem with good quality wax. Like the wheels, suit the car.

Post Re: Me new RS GT's!!!

I recently polished and waxed mine and it is definately much less hassle when washing as the dirt just wipes off really easily. Should work well if you start from new.

Re: Me new RS GT's!!!

I quite like those - I think they were a good choice, particularly for a black car, they do suit it.

I washed my car today: it was waxed a few weeks ago and it does make it loads easier to keep clean.

Enjoy!

Kay.
