Hey,
Iv found out that my insurance company wont insure me for alloy wheels, so im going to have to spray my steelies!
There all abit rusty so ill have to treat that, but on the rear wheels, there are two chrome domes in the centre of the wheels, and they are covered in greese
What are they and can i wipe all the poo off and spray them or does it need the greese everywhere
thanks

Re: Spraying Steelies
i wouldnt recomend this..but all i did was paint my steelies white with normal household emulsion lmao.
iv heard the best thing is mix hammerite paint,with a bit of hammerite varnish/laquer..and just paint it on.

Re: Spraying Steelies
just get some 15'' steelies (off a vauxhall ) put some low profile tyres on and paint them ( get chemical rust remover , wire brush , brilo pad and primer and paint ( matt black would be best imo) or phone up and ask to see if you can upgrade to some other vauxhall wheels . e.g astra sport or corsa c sxi ones etc
