Loading...When fitting some nice rims to your car there is nothing worse than ending up with scrapes and scratches from kerbs.
Other than being totally paranoid and parking miles away from the kerb (which we see many people doing) there are ways to protect your nice new rims.

In a high power rear wheel drive car you will benefit from wider alloys to give better traction. This is a great look and it works well on this TVR. The Wheel style is a 5 V spoke design in a highly polished chrome. To keep the shine you must keep a layer of protective wax over the wheel unless it is lacquered. Continue reading TVR Deep alloy wheel

The TVR Cerbera looks pretty good in standard form but this modified example just blew us away. It looks great in purple but the most significant modification to this car are the rear lights which have been converted to afterburner style lights.

Look at the massive 20 inch rims, the vented wings and the subtle flared arches. We always say the ultimate car styling project hides the original identity of the car and the owner creates something unique so here it is. What car was this originally?

The Mitsubishi Lancer EVO is a great car, the electronics make it handle like it is on rails and the engine is very strongly and relatively easy to tune up. Add in a boost controller, remap, larger turbo and a few breathing mods and you have a serious track day car. Continue reading Modified Mitubishi Evo

These spinners can look fantastic but you really need the right car and you need to have other quality styling mods to avoid it looking tacky.
Above: Flame spinners fitted to a BMW.
Cleaning alloy wheels with spinners can be difficult as there are now 4 surfaces to clean and the spinner cap will need to be removed. Keeping it polished will protect it and help it to resist brake dust and corrosion. If you notice the outer rim in the picture above the spinner is not proud of this so if you hit a kerb you will scuff the rim of the wheel but not damage the spinner.
