Or paint them black and red.(More people with show cars are painting their alloys - I'll do an article on this when I get time!)

You can gently sand back the bubbles and blisters with a fine grit paper or you can buy an alloy wheel repair kits. A good wheel cleaner and a bit of time will have them looking like new!
