Dirty Summer Tires Go Into The Bathtub, Clean Tires Come Out

Gloss black Ford Racing Performance Parts 17” × 7” rims and ultra high performance tires off of the #Focus, looking fresh and black again.

After cleaning and drying them, I also pick all of the stones and whatever other debris out of the treads. That’s more work than it sounds, but worth it to keep the treads clear for water and the weight off to keep from becoming imbalanced.

Still have to polish and wax the rims, as well as gel the tires. That’ll wait until closer to Spring though, otherwise the rims will lose their shine.

This is also a terrific way to annoy your significant other by covering the bath tub in a large amount of dirt…

Those are your summers? I thought they were your winters by the look of them.

Thanks! I actually have quite a few mods for the #Focus sitting around for when I get it back.

Thanks for mentioning which is dirty and which is clean.
Now all that’s missing is a big red circle and that one cancerous emoji and then you can upload it to Youtube with some sort of clickbait title.

I’ve never thought about taking my wheels off my car and giving them a literal bath lmao They seem 10x more cleaner inside and out

Indeed they are, let’s me clean much more of them than if they were attached to the vehicle.
