Strip the wheel down, sand it nice and smooth, apply 3 coats of Wurth wheel paint, 2 coates of Wurth cleal, wait a while then wax them. Wash them once a weel. Wax again as required. They're still get messed up, but not as quickly and they're stay cleaner longer. Some people use brake sheilds to reduce this problem. Some peple swear by them, some swear at them for causing warped rotors. -- Need Mercedes parts? http://parts.mbz.org Richard Sexton | Mercedes stuff: http://mbz.org 1970 280SE, 72 280SE | Home pages: http://rs79.vrx.net 633CSi 250SE/C 300SD | http://aquaria.net http://killi.net
