Car is filthy so better pictures when it stops raining. Very happy with them though and I can keep the standard wheels tucked up in the garage out of harms way.

Looks good!
Had chrome alloys on a old car and the salt just killed them over the winter!
Keep them polished they maybe alright

Im guessing thats a stainless trim on the outside of the wheel, bit like ive got on my 22's, so no corrosion issues.

Just one peice Araf mate but the alan bolts are bolts rather than moulded items so they look pretty good.

They have been waxed Dreamtoy and will contiue to be waxed every couple of weeks so the salt won't get em. Had similar wheels on my previous ro for 2 years and they looked as good the day I sold it as they did when I bought them

Very nice I was wondering though with the polished rim is it worth putting a layer of wax on them and leaving it on(as opposed to polishing it off) over the winter months. Would it act as a barrier or could leaving it on there long term damage the finish. Ours are mostly mirror polished and its not going to be practical to autosol them every few days.
