They\'re old school Mazdaspeed MS-01 rims made by Rays for Mazdaspeed. You can\'t buy them new anymore I\'m afraid.:Nono! People sometimes sell them second-hand though so hopefully you\'ll be able to find a set. If you want to see some more pics check out my car in the members rides section, lots of pics in there :InLove

right after all this talk of a clean pipe i had a spare hour and a variety of polishs! so first of i used a sheet of ultra fine scotch pad with some autosol as a cut paste! **** what hav i done scratched beyond belive!! but burn marks vanished so moved onto autosol on its own getting the shine back then mequires stuff \'in blue green tub\' with lots of rubbing , even shiney-er then a good old rub with the harley paste and i can see my face better than what i remember it being when new!!!

Yeah thats what I use the Autosol stuff and then the Meguiars stuff in the blue green tub.

Makes a huge difference when you step back and have a look what you have done !!

You shouldnt need to use the autosol very much, I do mine every couple of months and just the the Meg stuff in between.

So you bought everything mentioned in this thread?? lol Just dug out some 20 year old autosol, gonna polish me backbox before fitting it 2moz

I think the blue-ish colouring is caused by the heat chemically changing the metal... to get it back to shiny metal you\'ll need to use an abrasive cleaner to rub the top layer off.

i quite like the blue

Inspired by this thread i decided to sort out my exhaust. I used some very fine sandpaper, then Autosol to polish it up and it has come out mint.

Before...

And now...

It took me about an hour to get that finish.

Hi Frankie...

Just noticed from your pics that you have the same rims as me... except mine have gold spokes....

they look very shiney... what do you use to keep them shiney?

Frankie · March 04, 2007, 10:15:54 PM

I use a normal polishing cloth for them, the same one i use when polishing the car.
