Wheel Wednesday

[skinnyb]

Such a nice looking wheel, love the color tone of them too.

Those wheels I posted today I'll be ceramic coating in a couple of months, will be one of the few times the wheels have been off the car since it was built 15 years ago.

Thank you. I am really pleased with them. I was on the fence when I ordered. Started to order black, glad I didn't now. The gun metal Grey complements the Grabber blue nicely.

This week, the STYLE 5071 19-inch wheels on the Jaaaaaaaaaaaaag......................

These wheels are not ceramic coated, just regular applications of Carpro Hydr02. These tires look good with just about any dressing, but I typically use OG Tire Dressing on this car.

With 225/40/R19 on the front and 255/35/R19 on the rear, this car has more tire than the 200 hp Ecoboost engine actually needs. The byproduct of that is superb grip and traction, a complete contrast to the on-the-edge feel of my Mustang and XR8.

D: That sure is a great looking vehicle and reminds me a lot of the wife's '16 CT6 including the color!

I love the short front overhang on those Cadillac's.

Apparently, the chief engineer on the CT-6 was an Australian, having transferred from Holden.

Would believe that Jag turns more heads than my fire-engine red Mustang? I guess because they sold waaaaay more S550's than Jaguar XE's.

I think that short front end is the main characteristic that makes the CT-6 look so good.

I love that styling direction, something BMW once did very well, GM did with the later Holden's and RWD Cadillac's, even Volvo have managed to do it on a FWD platform with their latest models.

It's actually something I wish Ford had corrected with the new S650. If you look at the S550 from certain angles, the front overhang is massive and makes the overall wheelbase look too short. I think pushing the front axle forward would really emphasize the long-hood profile that has been a Mustang signature from the beginning.

Sorry, off topic.

No apology necessary my friend, we're allowed a little leeway. <grin>

And I completely agree with the 500 front end..oh well, such is life, right?

This weeks Wheel Wednesday, the HP Performance items on the Mustang.

I coated these with NV Wheel after the tires were mounted and prior to fitting to the car.

And yes, I de-nibbed the tires!

I love the design of these wheels, if painted the PP2 color, they would be perfection. Also waaaaay easier to clean than the hideous PP1 wheel.

Those do look really good . and I agree about the PP wheels. I still have mine for winter/cold weather duty with All Season tires on them, but they are incredibly difficult to clean. I did deep clean them and put some Adams Graphene ceramic spray on when I took them off this past spring to hopefully make them a little easier to clean. Might do a coat of CarPro DLux since I have an opened bottle I need to use..

There is only one thing worse than cleaning PP1 wheels.........................polishing PP1 wheels........................

Nah, to heck with that I just cleaned, decon, prep wiped and coated warts and all. They still look decent at 10 feet for a winter beater set

This weeks Wheel Wednesday, curtesy of this Mazda CX-5 Akera. These beautiful multi-spoke 19-inch items are finished in just the right shade of silver and really suit the car.

On this occasion, tires scrubbed with the Carpro ReTyre, wheels with the brilliant NV Purge, protection via Gyeon Wet Coat.

Finished off with Carpro Darkside on the tires.

Home run. My 3 (oops 4 )favorite wheel and tire care products . Wish I had those wheels on my Mazda. I have the black ones and I am really growing weary of the blacked out look...
