Question question for you p5 owners with polished wheels

any issues with the wheels? dulling finish, rust(?), corrosion? things like that?

had mine for a month...I cant stand the fact they never look fully clean. Polished wheels have small chips etc ...look close at them...you will see what I mean.

But I do love the additional shine! The only time it really bothers me is right after a good washing and the wheels just look dull...after a drive around the block the car has normal dirt and the wheels are fine.

Would I get em again...oh yeah!

I have two P-5...one with...one without....MINE has the polished wheels...I love them....they look a LOT nicer than the powder coated ones on my wifes...at least that is MY opinion....

and NO, I have had NO problems with them at all...had both cars since last december.

ahhhh and they won't rust...they are an aluminum alloy. :{D

what I do is keep them all shined up by using actual car polish on them....you see they are clear powder coated....the brake dust doesn't even stick to them very bad at all....they clean up very easily and look great.

just remember...they are polished aluminum...NOT chrome...so they are NOT going to have a mirror finish.
