Use plenty of elbow grease! Don't use an acidic wheel cleaner but there are some non-acidic ones out there. Try your local Vauxhall dealer of all places. Then when they're lovely and clean and dry use Autoglym Alloy Wheel Seal. I use it on my Sprint, Ford Focus and MG and it works a treat. What dust and muck does build up is very easily removed with a sponge!

Certainly not a easy thing to do,<br>
Hub change's front and rear and you'll nead the 2500/Stag front brake's as well then there's the machining as well to get it all to fit.<br>
Best bet go for a set of 14" Alloy's with Sprint PCD.<br>
If you really need 14's.

Is the black paint on the spokes any particular type of paint ?<br>
<br>
Is it best to get it all off first ?<br>
<br>
cheers, Richard.

Can Triumph 2500S alloys be fitted to Dolomites with low profile tyres? Not sure if the 2.5 wheels are 4 or 5 stud, or if the studs would be wrongly spaced. Just thought they might "sit well" on a dolly. Anyone tried?

They are 14 inch, though Phil aka Sprint V8 has done it. have a look at triumphowners.com ...

Richard - Use Nitromors & get rid of all the paint then use Black Hammerite Smooth paint.
