Looking good, can't go wrong with white wheels

I have some spare spigot rings from Rota wheels if they are the same - can't post them until Saturday, but PM me your address and I'll send you a couple

only 2 pics as the car is filthy will be getting it ready for sunday on Friday.

Im really pleased with the white. and i think the blue wheel nuts finish it off.

Im hoping putting 4 layers of CG wheel sealent on should do the Job for 3 months,

My task is to keep them white all the time

Hmmm back in the day i had a show car with chromes and it was a daily driver i used to clean the wheels with a bucket of water every single day, so these should hopefully remain looking like this 99% of the time, i hope so with 4 layer of wheel sealent

Looks the nuts.

What brake pads are you running and how do you drive? Wheel sealant doesn't do much against some makes of pad if you're a bit of a spirited driver. The deposits just melt straight through it and bond to the wheel. You'll probably be back out there every day like the chromes with these to keep them 100%. Worth the effort though. Blue on white is the way forward.

Im using the standard k-sport pad's as im only a road driver and to be honest don't drive it to hard. I clean the wheels every other day. and will be applying sealent every few months, Im pretty sure like my chromes there will remain in good condtion like my chromes did
