Default Stopping ST220 wheels corroding?????

Just got a 55 plate mondingo St220 thats had a brand new set of diamond cut alloys.

Is there anything you can put on them to prevent them corroding???

Cheers.

My friend and many others had theres painted silver. Doesn't look as good but is a lot easier.

Thats fucking nice Tiff

Very similar design yet will last loads longer looking nice

Shame ford get some lovely alloys but dont care about the lastivity of them.

The condition some of the Mrk3 ghia x rims and zetec s rims were in when i had my valeting business was really piss poor and thats alloys that didnt look kerbed etc etc

I looked for ages to find a new set of wheels for the mondeo but they were all to chavvy i thought.....the only ones were these....like you say, they look similar to the OE ST220 rims but slightly different, enough to change the look a little

Yep i looked and looked when i had my mrk3 ghia x but apart from 220, zetec s rims rims at the time there was nothing i could find that suited it but that was just another car that lasted me 3-4 months and i wanted something else , and then you realise you miss the comfort etc when you get older lol
