You'll be lucky if you manage 2 years out of them before they start corroding. The clear coat doesn't last in this country because of the salt on the roads.

I've had polished alloy wheels on mine for over a year now and so far do good. No corrosion. Like others say through keep em nice and clean and plenty of protection. FFRR TD6 HSE

i used to sell Alloys for a living and found that the best thing for all alloys was to put lots of wax on them and then to coat with back to black/ Cockpit shine........ or other good silicone spray products... it does work as long as you clean and replace regular...... If i could would you!!!! |
