Lovely wheels Heather👍
Those look really good on your car and I like the colour. I am not a fan of Ceramic coatings each to their own but ceramic spray sealants I can tolerate. I feel once its on I can't experiment with other or new to the market products. I do suppose I have far too much time on my hands. Early retirement under 60 is just great.
Very nice design for sure – they really suit the car top choice 👌 I always feel the only real option to protect alloys is a ceramic coating.
You’ll definitely feel the benefit through the winter – i have Gyeon Rim at the moment and it’s a fantastic invest in time for how easy it makes cleaning them on a freezing day when you want to be done and in! Love my GT products – quality brand and i’d trust their coatings to be damn good 👍
needs lowering to complete the look personally
A big improvement, they really suit the car and the coating will make cleaning a breeze. It will be interesting how long it lasts.
I’ve been looking forward to seeing how the wheels look, great choice they really suit the car and make it look much more aggressive. I’m sure the coating will make cleaning a breeze now too.
Love the new wheels 👍
To enhance the looks further you really could benefit from looking into some lowering springs or coilovers, to lessen the wheel-arch gap 😉 That would be very nice indeed on that car ✌
BTW; i like your thought process concerning the wheelcoating. I have had my wheels coated for a few years now, and more often than not i simply soak them in a decent wheelcleaner and pressurewash them, which leaves them spotless because of the coating 😊
That's pure dedication when you give the alloys that much love. It reminds me of my younger days when I used to own a Honda Integra Type R in championship white. I'd wake up in the morning before going to work and give it a quick detail spray and clean the white wheels ( Integras came with white alloys). My wife would be looking out the window and thinking what have I married lol. Got to be honest I just wouldn't have the energy or time for it now but I totally get it though 👍
a super product is Hades…I use it professionally on all my wheels off Coating work…easy to use, great performance…everyone can use this product, very user friendly. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Top vid, Heather👍
Impressive how much difference it can make on a car
Hi Heather,nice set of wheels for your car are smart,I would do the same myself to protect them.they go well with the car.
Love the wheels on the MX5!!! Also good information ℹ️ to have about ceramic coating the new wheels! 😁
The MX5’s looking great Heather, what a transformation the wheels make.
very nice Heather x
Great job and the wheels look class
Those rims are 🔥
Congrats. Looking forward to your weekly maintenance to get the most out of the ceramic coating. What I've done – going on 4 years now – is use P&S Bead Maker during my maintenance washes and the hydrophobic properties are still there and the wheels are super easy to clean. Then again, this is a Tesla Model 3 where the brakes are minimally-used to begin with, so I'm not dealing with much break dust.
For myself, I think wheels are the only place I'd use a ceramic coating as I enjoy the process of applying a sealant to the paint on a yearly/bi-yearly basis. Wheels get cleaned but applying a sealant on them I find more tedious. My problem is that I'd have to take one wheel off at a time, which I find annoying. Would like to do this to my stock wheels. Good video 👍🏽
Looks great, need to lower the car now!
Bugger 4 stud , would look lovely on the Mitsi as well. Hope you live in your own place or mums going to go nuts when she finds out you have had them on her dining table . They do look lush though , cant say Ive seen that design at shows but good choice Heather
I doubt that there's a better looking set of wheels for an MX-5. Fantastic choice Heather, great vid too.
The black wheel weight is crooked….
My right eye was twitching 😅 look's the business 🇦🇺
Very nice they look really good on the car 🤗
Beautiful new wheels Heather. Enjoy them
Good choice! They look great on the car 👍🏻
I’m really surprised at how economical the coating was, did you coat your old ones for going into storage?
You love cleaning wheels?? Hmmm……🤫🤫 but smart looking style…suits the car perfectly…
Nice choice of wheels 😎
Great wheels Heather
Wheels look incredible !!
Another fantastic and informative video Heather the wheels look lovely on your car.
Thanks for another really useful video on a ceramic coating. I use Gyeon Rim for my summer and winter wheels. Rim is designed for high temperature resistance needed for hot brake deposits. Does this coating offer the same type of protection, or is it a more traditional ceramic coating for a car body? Oh lovely wheels really make the car stand out!
Great video heather and to go with mr Paul 3rd from Essex
