Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Sealant is what I've been using for over a decade! I put it on the blue powder coated wheels of mine too. I suggest 2-4 initial coats and then go from there. Once a year, once every other, etc. I put TEN coats on the wheels! Hands down the best stuff I have EVER used.
I got a complete kit with everything from Autogeek for like $30. So it will be a tester of its durability.

That's a good price, but I'm getting very good results with Wolfgang Uber wash and Meguiars synthetic wax. Curious to hear your results.

I know these will not convince anybody to try it (Black Fire Paint Sealant) until they actually try it, but here pics from 2004, 5 or 6 and it was a 2001 I bought in 2004.

Bought these for 80 Cad or approximately 64 USD. Borbet 15x7 4x108 +35 offset. I plan to put some 200 treadwear tires on them. Maybe could fit some 225's in there lol.
Sweet score. Simple, clean design.

Washed it...again....stripped it of wax...washed it again and then paint sealed it with Blackfire. We will see how satisfied I am with it.

I love that blue! They definitely ruined the mk8 with that other different blue they did IMO. The mk7 blue was perfect.

I'm really struggling to find a thread for my "startup missfireing" issue.. can anyone point me to one?

I'm leaning towards a dirty injector or just carbon buildup.. never missfires under load or any other time.. sounds healthy other than that strange 3 cylinder startup.. [emoji1745]

Which are the highest quality/strongest and least brittle of all of these (for ANY price)? [dunno]

Thanks. Here's how they look on the car. The offset is perfect!
Better than I thought they would look. IMHO, any other color than silver would complement the wheel and the car. ymmv. Aren't they similar to Miata wheels?

Ouch! I bought a set, but haven't installed them yet. I'm hoping to do it before winter...my garage will definitely NOT be cleared out by then.

Ya I bought them because they were cheap and for the offset so I could fit a tire with a bigger section width in the wheel well. Luckily, they fit just barely clearing the front calipers. I'm not sure what Miata wheels specs are. I'm not sure if I want to paint them, as I don't mind silver on silver. My focus alloys for winter are also silver. But I see your point, any other color would make it stand out more.
