Subject: Gold anodising on the XRV


     The earlier models of the @ are well-known for the poor gold finish on 
     the alloy wheels, which tarnished badly and begins to expose the alloy 
     underneath. I have a 1992 RD04 (18,000km) where this is happening. The 
     wheels are in perfectly good condition, but as the gold anodising 
     wears off, is there is a risk in exposing the bare alloy underneath? 
     What precautionary measures can I take?
     
     Perhaps some of you are experiencing the same problem. If anyone can 
     share anything, it would be much appreciated.
     
     Cheers,
     
     Tony
