Cleaned my rims (way over due) my99cavy 10-01-2006, 07:48 PM
Grant it they are the stock ones but still. Man these things were DIRTY!!! Now I know I could have gotten them cleaned better but for only using a household cleaner :lol: (Kaboom) I think cleaned them pretty nice.

Classicrocjunkie 10-01-2006, 09:50 PM I cleaned mine i think 4 times this year in 360 miles. I love mine becuase i can reach through them and clean the insides w/o removing the wheel. :) my99cavy 10-01-2006, 09:51 PM ^yeah well see your very lucky lol I have to take each one off in order to clean them good. PITA but the end result is worth it. Classicrocjunkie 10-01-2006, 09:54 PM I agree. Now if only you had a runnin car.... :P JaysZ24 10-01-2006, 10:03 PM Ya i cleaned my rims when i first got my car too i don't think they had ever been cleaned before i just used soap that i use to wash my car with OH Ya My99Cavy just wondering but do your rims have balancing weights on the outside of them cause mine don't my99cavy 10-01-2006, 10:04 PM I agree. Now if only you had a runnin car.... :Phaha yeah I know man very soon though, in about a month and a half it should have a transplant.

Well atleast in Aftermarket wheels Lances133 10-02-2006, 05:23 PM ^^ only if the spokes are wide enough, I hate skinny 5 spoke rims, looks too empty. Ohhh I love Mr.Roboto's rims, I want them so bad. Wanna trade? lol 01Cavy 10-02-2006, 07:58 PM Woot... 5 spoke is where its at.... Well atleast in Aftermarket wheels Mine are close enough to be considered 5 spoke lol. http://gambit.team-nz.com/cav2.jpg my99cavy 10-02-2006, 09:01 PM ^^well technically they are 10 spoke rims lol but I see what you mean. MrR0b0t0 10-02-2006, 09:17 PM ^^ only if the spokes are wide enough, I hate skinny 5 spoke rims, looks too empty. Ohhh I love Mr.Roboto's rims, I want them so bad. Wanna trade? lol Heh, theres a reason I got those. =D They are the entire base to my black/white/chrome thing im trying to go for. Just need to tint the windows and take out those dam orange corners, and ill be set. I was planning on painting the rear light, but since that new upper engine mount is red, i guess it kinda evens out. my99cavy 10-02-2006, 09:20 PM I was planning on painting the rear light, but since that new upper engine mount is red, i guess it kinda evens out.Nah paint the red center bar or get the CF insert, it will really complement the whole white black theme. Young Chuck D 10-05-2006, 01:39 AM i like my rims but i never clean the inside :shrug: Lances133 10-05-2006, 02:11 AM ^Likewise, I don't clean what doesn't show, seems rather pointless to me. my99cavy 10-05-2006, 11:11 AM It shows on mine....like after I cleaned them and looked at them back on the car I could see the clean insides.
