Ph2 Valver Wheels Refurb - Progress Pics



  Beetle
My original wheels have been lying around since december so i thought i'd set about refurbing them, not got very far yet but i've decided to polish the lips on them. Pics so far

Really pleased with how they've worked out so far :D Plan is to keep them the orignal colours with slightly darker centre caps:)

i seem to remember someone telling me you need to wax the polished bits often to stop rusting... dunno if its true!
 
  Beetle
not sure, didn't think alloys could rust? they'd proably need autosol most weeks to keep them shiny, unless they can be laquered?

you can laquer them but if it comes off and water gets underneath they carode not rust which happend to my new alloys!! was gonna get my new ones refurbed but they look v nice!! got me thinking now!!

cheers mate mines the same size as that one lol but mines shagged ive got the perfect thing for the end of the drill but it takes it to deep and if you slip makes it look worse than been curbed
 
  Beetle
