wagnman Member 567 Member For: 15y 7m 26d Posted 07/10/15 09:12 PM Author Share Posted 07/10/15 09:12 PM Did you have any problems with the clear on your vertini rims?Sent from my HTC_0PJA10 using TapatalkYeh it started peeling off the rim lips about a year / year and a half ago. Is had the rims since 2009 though so I figured they had lasted well. Not sure what caused the peeling to start but it looked terrible. Now I have these new rims I am going to remove the clear coat from lips of the the vertinni rims and polish them up like new. They are too nice a rim abs someone will like them once they look sweet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailights need nite shades ASAP CheersI hear ya about the tail lights. They are smoked and I was careful to get ones that would pass Road side inspection (have been questioned by several police with out any issues touch wood). Darker would definately look better though.

It looked like rocks had hit it then cracked the clear allowing dirt and sh*t in. No amount of polish helped. I ended up stripping all the clear off and have since polished it which is better but the alloy is still stained which I can't remove Sent from my HTC_0PJA10 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine peeled of in much larger chunks and evaluate as you've done I'm planning on striping and polishing them too see how they come up. I checked out getting the lips machined but at a couple of hundred per rim I think Ill try the strip and polish first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
