Cleaned Archs + Wheel Change!

[S Garbett]

Well, i decided to put my 17s back on today and clean the archs. It was very windy and cold but we still spend about 5 hours outside lol. We gave her a good wash first and then got cracking on the archs. They are so nice and clean now! could be better tho

Archs were cleaned:

17s back on:

Miss the 15's now lol, i am really thinking about getting some 172 rims and getting rid off these.

The handling was mint with the 15's on and these are so much more lighter then my 17's Just need money lol

172 wheels are the way forward me thinks.

Mate, i'm after a set of wheels exactly like yours, would you consider a swap for 182 anthracite wheels?
Would they fit?

TSW PACE in 17's

 

[S Garbett]

what did u use to clean the arches?

Well i washed them out first with the hose and then sprayed AG EMC all over, leave for 2-5 mins and then get a brush onto the archs. Then used a old sponge to remove more crap and then repeated these steps. Then rinsed with hose again. dryed with old rag and then used AG BC on the plastic arch linners and the a rag to remove any left over AG BC!

Came up really well tbh
