Finally got around to fitting my new wheels today.
I bought them form a forum member a while ago and they were in good condition having been refurbished/powder coated not too long ago.
I gave them a good freshen up though with the following process:
Removed all old wheel weights,
Washed with bilberry wheel cleaner and various brushes,
Sprayed with ironx and left for a few minutes and then washed with Bilberry again to remove any ironx residue,
Dried,
polished with DA with mequiar's 205 and a microfiber pad,
Sealed with Gtechniq C5 and then coated with EXOv2,
re-balanced.
So here's the new wheels next to the old ones, a few pictures of them next to each other and then old and new on the car.
Really pleased with them and they will be really easy to keep clean now they're all sealed up.
While I had the front passenger side wheel off I noticed there is a cutout in the arch liner and you can see the end of the gearbox, there's a cap which appears to be seeping some fluid so have ordered a replacement as this seems to be fairly common and just need to replace the cap. cap part number is 02M301211B
Cheers,
Chris
