Originally posted by marko301 View PostI use poor boys and it gives a lovely wet look straight away. It's water based do doesn't last long if it rains. The good thing is being water based it doesn't get all the brown dust sticking to the tyres giving them that sh!tty brown look.

Gone the days of coating tyres....and it would make your shade of death wheels look better.....in your own eyes
I'm sure with modern technology, companies could achieve this if they desired.

Originally posted by Chewy1971 View Postfew months in, ... loving the car. So much more than I expected or hoped it would be (other than mpg!! that stinks)
not done a great deal to it since ownership other than:
hard wired dash cam
fitted 255/35 tyres instead of the 245/35 tyres
LED driving and main beam bulbs
removed inflation device and replaced with space saver and jack
oh,... and a new engine grille!
Full clean last Sunday,... looking fab

Originally posted by buttons View PostChoose your tyres wisely. On a 245/35/20 tyre (mine); A '245mm' section from one manufacturer may, and some will, have an actual section width of less than 240mm. Another manufacturer will have a section width of 256mm and up to 258mm. So you do not necessarily have to up the width to get the look. Just avoid manufacturers that sell tyres at the bottom end of the section width tolerance. Been there.
