20's on an R36?? I'd be thinking real hard about that.
I'd be confident in saying that you can flush whatever ride quality you had down the toilet.

There is no doubt they are a beautiful wheel. A pain in the arse to clean though. Does anyone have any hints on a product or a method to keep them clean. The dreaded brake dust, especially on the fronts is driving me nuts.

I dont think itll be that bad...I used to have a series 8 RX7 with 20s I didnt mind that, I think itll be OK.
R36 is such a big car, needs big wheels to finish off.

You misunderstood me. I think your new wheels will be fine. I was whingeing about the standard Omanyt 18's on mine

Sometimes I feel like pulling them off, detailing them and putting them on the shelf. Then buying a new set that is easier to clean.

I bought a Karcher on the w/e, one week after a proper wash and detail the brakedust came straight off.

I was short on time so I just used the Karcher to wash off a load of dust, the bugs from a 5 hour weekend drive around the country and the dreaded brake dust.

95% removed until the next proper wash. Just go careful around the valve stems (keep at least 30cm away) The Zano Z2 meant the other stuff just slipped straight off. The water literly sheets and beads straight off along with all the dust etc

Hi apom, what's zano Z2? is it a coating for the wheels? where did you get it done in Briz?

cheers

Zaino Z2 is a paint sealant / synthetic wax... Even though it says "polish".

My car washed, and then just one coat of Z2 applied (after a light polish first - Stage 2 Detail from DMS Detailing). With all the rain lately, I haven't had a chance to apply a couple more coats and then finish off with Z8.

Looks great Rocket... except for the YOGI number plates of course

[Rocket36]

YOGI number plates???

I'm still waiting for the ACT to release European style plates...

Although I have thought about removing the European plate panel on the front and getting the front bar redone by a paint/panel shop and just keeping the ACT slimlines instead. Can't decide. We may NEVER get European plates...

It's Zaino, and Waxit sell it in Brisbane, as well as some good how-to's on their site:

ps. 20" stock wheels would be pretty heavy..

I use a non acidic wheel cleaner and as VW doesn't have their own I got some from BMW. Spray it on the rims one by one, by the time youre done hose off and youre done.
