Default What do you think???

Due to the state of my wheel, what do you think I should do?

Get a new set of the ones I got on there at the moment?





Or something different? And what do you think I should get?

What happened to your wheel???? Or have I missed a thread or story along the way???


I'm not a massive fan of those ultra lites normally but they really suit your car, So go with what you have.

I'm needing new tyres soon so I'm thinking about another set of wheels, It's hard to make my mind up, I promised I wouldn't spend anymore on her but it noramlly works out cheaper to buy new and sell the existing on than just to replace the tyres.

Chris, what is wrong with them

I like the ultralites, its a good wheel and not that many around but if you do go for a change make sure they will fit under those HUGE brakes of yours

Thought that might be why you wanted a new set think that would put me off buying another set, Polished alloys do tend to go like that.

My mate took his M3 wheels to a polishing place in cearphilly, might be worth a try.

Never use wheel cleaner... I don't go anywhere near my car with the stuff.
It's the acid that may have started that off, Have a refurb to a different colour for a change.
Get hold of a pot of Poorboys wheels sealant.

They do look good, it has to be said, but if your going to spend your cash you may as well go for something totally different.

Your neighbours will think your really flash then changing your wheels as often as your tyres!

These could look pretty good, they will be on mine at the next change i think

Cris i heard it was rail way tracks not kerbs! They look great and to be honest unless you are doing and want to win any show and shines this year leave them alone apart from neutralising the acid and maybe sealing them with POOR BOYS. then after next winter get a new set.

Up to you in the end but they don't look too bad from here.

No thanks, we all know what happens when you get behind the wheel of a scooby
