HELP!


My 5 spokes on my 4.0 are looking the worse for wear. The car's done 75k miles and i suspect someone in its past has used allow wheel cleaner on it as the lacquer is showing signs of degradation.


I'm rather tempted to get a set of the 5.0 wheels, but i think the standard wheels after a freshen up would look great too (and i only just bought new front tyres).

Does anyone have any pictures of a dark blue Chimaera with 5.0 wheels (mine's starmist blue you see)?

Can anyone recommend a good wheel refurb place around Berks/Hants/Surrey area?

Fanks Mister!

VS - is it just the lacquer coming off them...?

If so, the drop Plunkett an e-mail via his profile. He's got a 4.0 Chim and has removed the lacquer from the wheels and polished them up himself... probably the shiniest wheels I've ever seen on a Chim (and a very tidy car too I might add).
