Hi if they are in bad rusty condition you would be cheaper buying new ones

[ThomChloe]

Yeah thought so cheers its about 130 quid for new stainless steel ones though

I tried using chrome spray on some and they looked terrible. Bin em and get some new ones, but be sure to waxoyle or Vactan the insides before fitting them!

[ThomChloe]

If I wax oil inside of chrome one will they last a while or not

[chuckle-bus-tom]

It definitely prolongs the life of them, particularly with the lower grade Just Kampers ones. Mine have been on 4 years with no rusting. Tip I got off here!

[ThomChloe]

Can someone tell me if I need fixing brackets wi em or do they just push on

[chuckle-bus-tom]

They just push on to standard wheels. Need a good slap!

[ThomChloe]

Nice one cheers do they come off easy when you hit bad potholes don't want to be losing em at 30 quid a peice

[chuckle-bus-tom]

No, not if you make sure they're on all the way. As I said, they need quite a slap. Best to put them on and then roll the van forward a foot and check the side that was facing down. They should fit totally snug against the wheel. No gaps!
