    I do wash the car once a week but i want to keep these wheels immaculate. Espeially since their;

    I use Wheel-Wax from ebay. It's pretty good when used in liberal coats on the polished lips on my wheels.

    I tried Autoglym Wheel Seal, seemed to do nothing.

    my TE37s , i used that FW1 wax.. and then wiped it all over every part of them with a cloth to ensure an even coat.. with a bit of a wipe down they come up brand new every wash,.

    Through everyone's favorite friend in the land of the rising sun, Streeter!

    I have a set in grey and was going to redo them in white but these came across.

    Yeah these are 17x9+18 full set. The seller advertised it as these wheels wouldnt clear his BBK ona 350mm rotor... I was expecting no gutter rash or chips, but at the very least, some tyre marks if the original owner decided to mount a tyre on them at least.

    BTW for your 180SX, there is a pair of Regas in silver; 18x9.5+18 if it was a full set, I would have considered haha!
