Possibly a silver/machined lip would do it to break it up a bit, but being 17's it might bring out the "smaller" size too much. There's a nice deep groove around the edge of the rims that I could easily fill with something to mock up a lip so might give that a go at some point. If anyone is interested, now part of my car has come third in the Targa city stage hahaha. This is the guy I bought them from: They have some cosmetic chips and really well stuck on stains in parts (caused by race spec brake pads maybe?) which is another reason I'd like to get them freshened up! 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70315-my-baby-turned-300-at-last-pic-heavy/page/68/#findComment-1621156 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I took a photo of you as you rolled upto the meet point for cruise the other day cause the wheels looked fantastic as you were moving.

I should reapply it regularly because it does make quite a difference to the overall look, including using it on the black plastics (since it's really just silicone spray) makes them look awesome.

Just need to let it dry before driving, or wipe the excess off your panels behind the wheels after the first drive if you didn't let it dry Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70315-my-baby-turned-300-at-last-pic-heavy/page/68/#findComment-1621162 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive at 100, pull over and wipe again after applying.
