Just bought a set of 13's alleycats. Is there anything you should treat them with before using to prolong the life of the wheel, e.g laquer of some sort?

 

Thanks

Assuming they're brand new, they'll already have lacquer on them, in which case just keep them clean with a regular polish. I think you can get some waxy-type wheel polish which is supposed to help protect the alloy too (dunno how good it is).

 

If they're midlandwheels/JBW then I'm afraid the chances are that the lacquer won't last long at all, i suggest you really do stay on top of them to prolong their life.
