same rims, same astra (mine is hatch). i used to apply fusso coat as protection and meg tyre gel on wheels. its easier to clean them in next year. but somehow as fusso is PTFE/teflon (or maybe no because of that) but mainly on car it collected more grind then without it. so i switched to ceramic or lite ceramic from meg. i am wondering how long it will hold on rims (i do complete decontamination, apc, sour schampoo, iron, tar remover). tyre gel on wheels holds up to 2000km for me, but next time i will try carpro darkside if it is at least as good as tyre gel from meg. i have 16" Continental for winter and 17" Falken for summer and somehow i like the summer wheels more :D but i go to replace them to service cause they have all equipement especially that one which spins the wheel and then he knows where to put or remove those iron cube stickers for best wheel "spinning". it cost 25eur "only" here 🇸🇰 (was the time 5-years ago when the price was 15 only) so.... why not :D nice video btw. mine tip is: change the stock open nuts (which shows corosion of wheel screw) for closed one (chrome platted, plastic nuts caps looks awfull) which pair with those rims color perfectly and wheels then looks more "clean". price was 22€ all nuts back then 5years ago, now are little bit more pricely (1.5€ each nut). good luck!

When you said you were going to change the tyres, I thought you were going to change the tyres. Surely, the recommended tyre pressure should be measured when there is two tonnes of car contributing to the pressure.

Did you really fill the tyres with air according to the specifications for the vehicle before they were mounted on your car?

Jep. I always measure the pressure, when tyres are "cold". After installation, test drive to a shopping mall to buy some dinner, and in the morning, another pressure check. Like i said, i don't know how accurate this Einhell machine is, but In the morning, i had to add little bit more air to get it to specs. I don't drive that much, but i check tyre pressures about once in a month. My car is 2011, so it doesn't have sensors in the tyres.
