want to strip my vw castelletes.brought some nitromors and all it did was take the paint off between the spokes,wont touch the face of the wheel which is lacquered.whats going on? applied it four times,used half a tin on one wheel and nothing! thinking of going with some 180 grade wet and dry but wi...

its on the thermostat itself.i suggest its a faulty thermostat as this is quite common.you can test it yourself in a bowl of hot water to see if its working or not.check the wiring on it and if it looks ok,either test it yourself or take it back where you had it fitted for them to check it out or re...

it removed the paint between the spokes but wont touch the face of the wheel which as far as i know is only lacquered.applied it four times and left it ages.used half a tin of automotive nitromors and it aint done a thing. been told they could be anodised!? what difference does this make.they are st...

megs scratch x its good stuff and nowehere near as abrasive as t cut etc

try H & R,they do em,looking to get some myself

yeah am going to but didnt know if i needed longer ones or not.these are 4x100 6x14 et38 and the steels were 5.5x13 et43.so what new bolts should i be looking and were is best to get them,need some new locking nuts also

they are 6" wide and my original steels were 5.5 is it safe to use the old bolts for my steels with the alloys as ive lost half inch of thread on each bolt or should i get some longer bolts to be safe

got a set of 14" castelletes only problem is they have 60 profile tyres.looking to get some 175/50s.
how low could i go with this set up? 60?70?80? or more?

might sell mine on too,not sure what to do

thinking about polishing my alloys.anyone done it diy style.any hints,tips pics or guides.where do i start and what do i need.how long will it take and what kind of finish would i get?

it sounds metalic but hasnt done it recently for some strange reason

I use Meguiars Hot Rims 8) got some myself today dont really know what to think really as only gave them a quick going over today.the thing i didnt likeabout it is you have to wash the wheels before applying it.not really what i would expect from a product discribed as "alloy wheel cleaner&quo...

very good job.how did you get rid of the scuff marks on the edge of the rim?

whats the best alloy wheel cleaner in your view that doesnt wreck them? also what wheel sealent to use?

got some castelletes today with nearly new tyres only problem is they are 60 profile so got to find some 175/50s.ill get some pics up soon.wont tell you what i paid cause i doubt you would beleave me,thought the advert was a miss print
