| Briskodian | 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. |

| 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. |

| Seeking sanity | 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. |
