A500 SS wheels off
« on: August 28, 2011, 09:30:42 PM »
Hi,

I've had my Abarth for nearly 4 weeks now and totally love it, one mod done which had me speaking to Daron from TMC. So Carlo is boxed and I love that too, wheels are off and are going in tomorrow to have a face lift, what  a nightmare it was putting him on axle stands  ???

Hi mate, am staying oem with these ones, but may look for a black set as spares ;-) need them as it never stops raining :-?  Just looking now for some good stuff to seal them with any ideas ? :-)

I use poorboys wheel sealant, works superb, did mine from new the brake dust just washes off with no effort at all.

I use Rimwax. Despite the title, it works well on my A500c's white alloys. It has a nice bubble gum smell so applying it was a pleasure as well as spreading them evenly with a dry cloth. On completion, it was a matter of wiping the pesky brake dust off with a damp cloth.

Lol, back on the road, I did really miss it. The looks are worth every penny. Kept the rims oem colour wise. Starting savings an exhaust system and a few other little mod's.
