Thanks Rob :y :y ..... do you also recommend in me buying the Wurth Lacquer
Title: Re: Cant wait to get these on :)
Post by: HockeyDave55 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! :-)
Title: Re: Cant wait to get these on :)
Post by: OmegaAnglesey 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 :o :y :y
Title: Re: Cant wait to get these on :)
Post by: OmegaAnglesey 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 :y

________________________________

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 :y
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330421830618?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 (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 :o ;D ...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Starchem-Finishing-Pads-Starbrite-Scotch-CFP-0-Abrasive-/290432800815?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item439f24d82f#ht_1229wt_1037 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Starchem-Finishing-Pads-Starbrite-Scotch-CFP-0-Abrasive-/290432800815?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item439f24d82f#ht_1229wt_1037)

4th Step pain them etc with this make pain / lacquer...

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