ever since i got the s15 the wheels have being pissing me off, there was some sort of oxidisation on every lip of every wheel!! so today i finally got round to doing a nice cost efficent wheel refurb, 12 euro to be precise!!
here are some pics of them before where you can clearly see the problem and then what 3 hours of wet and dry sanding and some metal polishing can do!!oh and a few of the car all cleaned! opinions welcome!!bt
before any work...
and after...
and the car...
thanks for looking!
