budgie Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Ok, as you know I've just bought these wheels as I've been saving up for a good set for a while now. Had LM reps and others over the years and have just not been up to the job so hence the big outlay. Few questions. Do you think they will be up to the job all year round, reps certainly aren't (polished lip). As they have a stainless lip maybe they are OK? What is the best product to clean the lip?

simonlpearce Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Im sure others will agree but i woudl be keeping these as a show wheel only or at the very least a summer wheel. Make sure you tell your insurance company too, the last thing you want is for them to get robbed, or smashed in an accident and not paid out by insurance company. Plus will void insurance if you dont tell them. Not sure bout cleaning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budgie Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Sod that, I want them to be seen on the road and not stuck away in a garage for shows only, whats the point? What I don't want to do is ruin them with lack of care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I would use them all year round like I do with mine now I bet you will have to clean them every other day but it is so worth it they are awesome rims Daz will be along in a minute he will know what to use as his rims are always gleaming My suggestion would be get some Meguiars Hot Rims for starters as you will need it for all that cleaning.
