Mine are a bit more worse, a few big scrapes across the face of the alloy.  Although they are not too deep, a refurb is needed

Had my Monza's refurbed as shadows by A1 wheels 4 years ago at around £400 including new BBS valves, I seal them up with poorboys wheel sealant twice a year and have absolutely no sign of white worm on them.  If you look after them they'll look nice for a long time.  :happy2:

Yeah i've been reading about that Poorboys sealant and it seems to be the way forward. Ive never used anything like that before but once I get them back i'm gonna try and look after them properly.

New centre caps arrived today as well. Cant wait to get the wheels sorted now
