....
... Much much better than those CDX alloys imo they are the worst apart from the early GLS alloys they take the biscuit

PAULCDX · « **Reply #8 on:** 27 June 2012, 21:34:36 »

Looks like you had a bargain at £35

Must get my CD wheels changed for some of those nice looking 17's

They are my 2nd fav to the Elite alloys

Just couldn't resist buying these at that price

Will keep the CD alloys as spares...

OmegaAnglesey · « **Reply #12 on:** 27 June 2012, 21:49:55 »

Also bought these.. wonder if anyone on here has bought any ?

Thanks Rob

..... do you also recommend in me buying the Wurth Lacquer

HockeyDave55 · « **Reply #21 on:** 28 June 2012, 21:15:41 »

I was the same when I picked up a set of MV6 wheels and even put them on just to see when the tyres were slicker than a slick thing!
Great choice! :-)

OmegaAnglesey · « **Reply #22 on:** 29 June 2012, 14:26:19 »

And a bonus was all the tyres on the alloys are Dunlop SP Sport 235/45/R17 x2 with very good amount of rubber left and other x2 have enough for many miles , Had a look on eBay x4 of these tyres new £450

OmegaAnglesey · « **Reply #23 on:** 07 July 2012, 23:17:20 »

Just finished refurbishing x2 alloys today, Not a 100% perfect finish still has odd marks, But when painted and on the car look great IMO

Thanks for all the positive comments

________________________________

Okay here goes i'll try and make a list of all the stuff i used in steps below...

1st of all I used this stuff the clean the tyres/wheels to ensure I don't rub grit/dirt into the alloys

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330421830618?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

2nd step I took was to rub the outer rim with BLACK AND DECKER medium sanding discs I had lying around roughly 1 hour per wheel..

3rd step to get a fine smooth finish i used these for roughly 45min per wheel one took 2 hours

...

4th Step pain them etc with this make pain / lacquer...
http://www.performancemotorcare.com/acatalog/Wurth_German_Alloy_Silver_Wheel_Lacquer___400ml__1149.html

5th and final step after 2 days dry time cut them and polish them and finally use this amazing stuff for car body and the wheels jobs a gooden

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160837975997#ht_1875wt_1270

Hope this helps a little, I'm sure there is a better way to do them but this was just what the doctor ordered for me
