Did you have any problems with the clear on your vertini rims?

Yeh it started peeling off the rim lips about a year / year and a half ago. Is had the rims since 2009 though so I figured they had lasted well. Not sure what caused the peeling to start but it looked terrible.

Now I have these new rims I am going to remove the clear coat from lips of the the vertinni rims and polish them up like new. They are too nice a rim abs someone will like them once they look sweet again.

Define "sticky Pirellis" please

P Zero Nero? Rosso? Tailights need nite shades ASAP

Cheers

I hear ya about the tail lights. They are smoked and I was careful to get ones that would pass Road side inspection (have been questioned by several police with out any issues touch wood). Darker would definately look better though.

The clear on my went to sh*t. It looked like rocks had hit it then cracked the clear allowing dirt and sh*t in. No amount of polish helped.

I ended up stripping all the clear off and have since polished it which is better but the alloy is still stained which I can't remove

It's disappointing really as the vertinni rims are fantastic quality otherwise. Mine peeled of in much larger chunks and evaluate as you've done I'm planning on striping and polishing them too see how they come up. I checked out getting the lips machined but at a couple of hundred per rim I think Ill try the strip and polish first.

Sucky news about vertini....cause they are a good looking wheel (vertini drifts).

Worst part is they aren't even that cheap....

I paid 1100 second hand with no rear tyres. And 4 weeks later they went like this. Dunno if old mate pulled a swifty on me or not.

Still look good with s clean just take a bit more effort to keep clean and shiny
