HEADPHONES Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Seeing as I had the afternoon off all to myself I thought I'd prep my rims for the winter So I jacked up the car. Nismos off. OEM Tourings on. Washed rims. Dried. Fallout remover (IronX) Rinsed Tar remover (ValetPro) Wash and rinse. Clay. Wash and rinse. Dried with a towel and put in the kitchen awaiting bone dryness. Must be getting old as I found it a hard slog in today's heat. Then off out for drinks with the lads. Just come back and given them an IPA wipe down. Not looking too bad after being run daily for 10 years Off to bed now. Will coat them with Gtechniq C5 in the morning 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 Wife and kids away for a couple days. An opportunity like this is very rare. She'd not be best pleased having wheels take up the kitchen floor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than a blow out or wrecked wheel. Hopefully it's repairable and won't cost too much to fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Oriiginals as per OP VERY Expensive. Many run the ROTA Gtr replicas which are very good. Had a set on my old 350z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
