    Ive cheated though as Ive only done the outsides ... there isnt any point on doing the insides as they just get humped with rust and dirt in no time

    I will bite , What causes the rims to rust that quick .

      Just the constant dampness and road salt in the winter . I've developed a theory for how often to do these now as I've tried several methods, including shot blasting , lacquering etc, most of it is a waste of time over here, the best and longest lasting rims are the original mfgs ones cos they are anodized from birth
