    Lads i got a set of alleycats for my avenger, now they are in great shape original rallye specials not copies which was what i was after,
    The polished lip would need polished up again, can anyone recomend a good alloy polish, cutting compond for the job or would ordinary paintwork cutting compound be just as good ?

    From my own experience, if you dont get the alloy polished properly first and just use Autosol, you'll be polishing the wheels everytime you wash the car...with polishing ,the water tends to run off much easier.....

    i agree with you, my wheels were rubbed down with various grades of wet & dry until 2000 grit then mop polished then autosol, downside is you dont have any fingers left so thats why i got the 5 spoke ones diamond polished!
