Today I cleaned up the rims and I am going to do a little touch up paint work and fit the new tires. I also removed the plastic side skirts and the large black plastic cover that runs parallel to it and found a lot of dirt in there. I would highly recommend that if you have an Impreza that you take the time to do the same thing, it was amazing how much dirt thre was in there and at the back of the wheel arch, these are the areas you will start to get rust issues over time as the dirt sits there and holds in moisture and then you could possibly start to see issues. It's a simple job to do!
