Glanza-Ben Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Got my new Rotas Thursday and sold my old wheels to me mate and gave my car a wash, not every one will like my wheels but I wanted to be different Edited June 1, 2013 by Glanza-Ben Quote
Amjad Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I like them, some 10mm hubcentric spacers will finish them off nicely! But they WILL corrode, a mate had a set on his EF and they were amazing new but did have loads of lacquer peel later like all polished Rotas.. Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted June 1, 2013 Author Posted June 1, 2013 I'm looking at getting some hubcentrics next so should be alright like I said I did not want to get grids as every one has them now including vag boys but also did not want something in a bright colour got these to be different n amjad apparently there's a years warranty on them so if they corrode before then I will be on contact with rota Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted June 1, 2013 Author Posted June 1, 2013 Looks amazing buddy, makes its look so clean !Thanks bud I want it to look clean and Mint instead of the 'RACECAR' look lol Quote
Azz Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Thanks bud I want it to look clean and Mint instead of the 'RACECAR' look lolUndetstanable bud, I sold my grids for the same reason and my v is sat on its track wheels for 3 months whilst my new wheels get made and shipped over its a pain but we must do these things to be different !

Malcolm GT Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Looking good, didn't think I would like them Quote
loguey Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 They look top dollar mate. If they corrode out of warranty, you can sand all the polished face back and polish it up, light scotch over and re-lacquer Quote
Amjad Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 They look top dollar mate. If they corrode out of warranty, you can sand all the polished face back and polish it up, light scotch over and re-lacquer Thing is lacquer will probably corrode again I remember somebody posting something to protect lacquer-less metal finishes, but can't remember what it's called. Was about £60 and protects for months apparently Quote

pick1 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I think they look awsome mate I really like em deffo my mind of wheel and suite your car loads and surely there is some wheel sealant out there to help protect em Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 I've aint kirbed a set of wheels for years so touch wood I won't Kirb these lol and I wash my car every day with out fail so they will be kept well clean and will try get a sealant on them Aswell n appreciate all the comments always good to get people's opinions Quote
