We did the same thing on my red cav, it looks so much better for it.
Those wheels do look spot on

i'm told as long as i keep polishing after each wash all should be ok. the chap who did it for me works on site, it only cost me £20 to get it done so i'm not too worried if it turns pink in six months, i'll just get it done again.

cheers. the wheels are vw fit ABT's the offfset is 35 i think. they fit almost bang inline with the arches and there isn't any rubbing. i'm gonna try 5mm spacers on the rears to bring them out a touch just to give it the perfect stance.

oh and to all that read this post make sure you mask all the black trims! i left one door handle half unmasked so i could get in and it took one hell of alot of scrubbing with a scrubbing brush to get the pink stains out of it.

thank you! but dont be fooled! this cavalier is not for turning! pink!!! i'm keeping this one forever and looking after it in a way to make sure that happens. good quality polish after every wash every week (sometimes twice 
) should hold back the pink for a long time.
