Sealing steel wheels?
Evening guys,

Just had a flashback of reading somewhere on the forum that you should seal your steel wheels? Seeing as I have just fitted a new set of modular, I thought I had double check.
If this is the case, where should I seal? In the gap where the welds are?

Thanks in advance. I had a quick search but couldn't find what I had read.

Simon.

I remember that post, seal the join back and front with some silicone ( or I guess some clear sealer) or they will go rusty in time like mine have Big Cry it did take 5 years to notice anything, but it's big sheets of paint coming off on two of em!

Alloys on their wayt tho Mr. Green
