garaged daily....

 

 

yeah i got a quote to get them redone ($400+), but i dont see myself putting anymore money into these wheels. i tried to contact the vendor and they said that i am SOL....it doesnt look that bad. more of a pale gold, but that extreme from orange gold to pale sucks.

Burning black had a problem too? let me know whats up with that!

 

where you using wheel cleaner??? I bet that caused the fading

 

no just mild soap and water....no chemical cleaner

 

I believe some gold volks will fade a bit as well. I remember seeing some new gold volks against some older ones and there was quite a difference.

 

DAmn, and I wanted to buy a new set of the Gloss black meisters. Probably will fade as well or bend easily.

 

Have you used any wheel sealant?

 

no chemicals, no sealants etc

 

I agree with no chemicals, but good sealant is a different thing, will protect the paint from fading, tar, etc

this one is good http://www.poorboysworld.com/wheel-sealant.htm, but there are tons of others. General rule here is, if it doesn't chemical smell, but more like natural wax it could be used to protect your wheels.

 

I was talking to one of the WORK reps yesterday and they admitted the fade could be due to a bad batch. He also mentioned other customers complained about the fading issue as well possisbly due to hard water depending where you live
Blows either way.
I was thinking of picking up a new set from lemans corse. who knows

 

I have 1000 dollar wheels..work emotion line. Good quality design, proper tire sizes and some common sense will prevent damage to a wheel. Expect wheel damage if youre running a small sidewall, too high of a tire pressure, going over crazy bumps at high speed. In respect to the color fade.. That will happen to OEM wheels too. Old clear coated wheels turn yellow and some even chip. That will happen. Its just a matter of time.
