scuffed wheel

[Lincolnshire Rambler]

My plastic wheel trims (SR) model have taken a few scuffs before the alloy wheel . Having caught the alloy i touch up the scratch / scuff with black nail varnish to keep the alloy from corroding 😊😆

Since the recent cold snap I am really glad I removed the wheel trims on my Jazz, I had to wash the white salt off the wheels and had the trims been in place it would have been impossible to remove it all

When I recently removed my standard 'fan' wheels I was not very  impressed  by how well they are  painted on the back - ie the reverse side you dont normally see.  Some parts had a thin wafting of the black paint, others appeared to be  bare alloy although there  may be clear laquer. 

Perhaps this is sufficiently durable for an area not normally seen, despite getting a lot of road dirt and brake dust.

Agree the matt black is not the best looking finish but is offset by the sections of shiny diamond cut alloy, it would do my head in to have all the brake dust / salt and general road crud building up behind the trims, not the easiest rims to clean but I don't mind giving them a good coat of looking at every couple of weeks
