mach5 wheels
Hello All,

I have a set of mach5 wheels on my defender 90 which I'm very pleased with them,
I just noticed the other day on just one part of one wheel the black paint is starting to come off leaving about a inch long of bare metal,
Do these wheels rust and what's the best thing to do? Or is it just normal after 2 years?

Thanks

If they are genuine mach 5 wheels then if I have remembered correctly they will be steel so therefore will rust. Ed

There is a really simple way to check if they're steel... Ed

Here it is, I don't think it's starting to rust, think it's just the paintwork Whistle

The wheels are actually challengers!

Not a very clear pic. But gives u an idea,
