That was the convincer for me and kept it in mind for this year.
Don't fancy running (and ruining) my Volks this winter like I did last winter.
I've been keeping my eye out for a cheap-ass set of wheels as im nervous about my Volks too. Did you really wreck them with the salt? I saw your pictures pre-refurn and they looked pretty bad...! Did you put any wax or sealant on them before last winter?
This weekend just gone i put some spray on wheel wax on mine (supposed to do 2 or 3 sprays... i did about 100 per wheel!!)
Yeah, I did try my best to protect them, but salt is a bit of a bugger and I'll be honest, I didn't fancy doing that every single day.
It just got under the micron thin anodisation layer that the Volks are finished with to give them that mirror finish. Once it got under I got the telltale snailtrails of corrosion and the like.
Took the refurbisher a while to get all of that anodisation off tbh.
Thanks Mark...thats worrying then...!
I think im going to sorn the zed from Dec-March this winter... hopwfully the wheels will be okay without the car being driven.
