Had the wheels of today and they were all fine, copied from e90 post for the days work
So my wheel nuts and brakes were in a terrible looking state, it really made the car look poor. I have never taken my wheels of since owning this car so thought it would be a good idea to look to see if there cracked anywhere or have been cracked.
Pleasingly they all seem fine, which made me a little sad as I like the looks of a set of wheels CMWheels has on offer at the moment
and if I found one little crack I was going to just buy them lol.
Probably took 1.5 hours per side which included cleaning the wheel inside and out, cleaning inside the wheel arch too and messing about on the phone / taking pics. I used hammerite smooth for the discs and calipers, for the wheel nuts I just used halfords gloss black paint I had in the shed. I dont expect it to last to long but now I have seen the results I will defiantly look for some better paint.
So I never really got any before pics but I did remember half way through the first side.
If this is a job you have been putting off, just do it I cannot believe how much difference it made. Still got to clean the car but I ran out of time
Before (notice the rear brake disk etc
and done
