Holden lovers,
If you are in the market to get new rims on your ride please save your self the stuff around of buying PDW rims.
They are sold at Tyre Power and most of the major retailers. This small time back yard company flogs off a TERRIBLE product. They are not expensive so I probably have myself to blame but I purchased a set of PDW HB-R Stainless steel finish looking 18" rims from Tyre Power. Within 18 months they had developed weird off colored sparkly patches on them, when originally they had a very clean look about them. I thought some kind of corrosion was forming on them and managed to pick off some of this distortion with my fingers. With some google research and looking around my area where other people had the exact same rims I found out that the clear lacquer they put over the machined finish is a cheap short lasting product and leaves the rims defaced after a year of use.
I rang PDW and thought that maybe I just had a defective set, after being ignored and given the run around for 8 weeks by the company not returning calls I was contacted by Dominic the general manager of PDW who assertively informed me I used a corrosive chemical on them such as bug off or car polish, I most certainly had not and furious at some twit telling me what "I HAD DONE" and that there was nothing wrong with his product. I got in contact with consumer affairs who were no help.
These rims did not come with a warning and honestly what external part of a car cannot withstand car cleaning products!?! I didn't acid wash them or dip them in caustic soda! which is what they look like.
So Holden lovers please don't deface your ride by making the same mistake as me and buying these cheap a*$# rims
