concealing alloy wheel corrosion

[problemchild1976]

As some of you may have seen at s2smarts, my rear alloys (came with the car) had very bad corrosion just on the outermost of the rim and it's defo not to do with curbing.

Did try and claim under the 4yr warranty and they weren't interested.

So to conceal them (and they were quite bad) I sanded the edge down with a bit of wet and dry and then applied some white 14mm wheel rim tape just to tidy it up in the short term.

I chose white as I can now add some race check decals if i want







may still do the fronts...

I did have a look at doing them but it may be a good item to use paint remover on and then have a go at painting them to match to try and give people an option of sorting them out.

Wish the wheels were tougher.

May be worth getting hold of clear vinyl and trying that as a preventative measure.
