    Well...I eventually got round to getting the wheels off to give them a good clean and wax.

    I thought I had silver wheels! (JCW R95's)...they turned out to be gray...and brown...very dirty! Loads of tar on them.

    So got to work cleaning them....and they are looking really good...one coat of NXT....will give another coat tomorrow.

    Really wished I had this car from new...there is corrosion on the back of the alloy as it sits against the hub...no real excuse for that.

    While I had the wheels off...I painted my calipers red. Was going to paint the top hat and the edge of the disks...but think I will do those in black.

    Really pleased with the result.
