as some of you may have read in other thread I recently bought a set of 15x6.5 Volk GR-C wheels.
according to the sticker on the inside they are 4x114.3 and +38 offset.
according to the seller they are 4x100 and +48
I've read that these wheels were only made in 4x100 and that all of the 4x114.3 stock came with a spacer/adapter plate to make them 4x114.3, which would mean that the seller's PCD and offset are correct (assuming the adapter was 10mm thick)
anyway, when I picked them up they were looking a bit shabby, nothing too bad, just an old paint job and one is a bit bent.....
anyway, onto my attempt to restore these wheels to their former glory!
so I set about beginning the cleaning process.
the wheels were layed out on the grass and given a brief hosing to remove the loose grime.
the brief wash revealed a little secret on two of the wheels...... CENTRECAPS HIDDEN UNDER THE PAINT!!!
anyway, the wheels were pretty filthy, so I set about giving one a quick clean before dinner, here's the before picture:
and here is after two goes with Final Inspection's Power Wheel Cleaner (PWC) and a light scrub.
seriously, PWC is amazing stuff, it took the majority off on the first pass, next time I'll be leaving it to dwell for a bit longer and it should remove most of the rest too.
and here's the sticker of specs, which was hidden under the brake dust.
that's all I've done for now, more in the coming weeks/months.
