D4 Landmark alloys
I'm looking at swapping to a Landmark before they all go.. Which were the standard alloys, the diamond turned or the viper ones?
cheers

Diamond turned look very nice but you have to stay on top of the cleaning. They can be prone to discolouration and pitting (had a few BMW M3 sets go that way over time).
Just a thought "Track day running - Don't put your foot back on the accelerator until your absolutely sure you don't have to take it off again"

Thanks for the responses, I agree with Kilovolt on the cleaning front, I'm also wary about scuffs . I've had diamond turned on another motor.

I've run a set through two winters and so far not a mark on them, and way easier to clean than any other style I've had (and I've had most!), so far they've way exceeded my expectations!
I'd post a pic, but honestly, there's nothing to see Long succession of Disco's since 2001...

I ran mine for 2 summers, and got rid of them once they started discolouring and corroding
