im asuming that there isnt a colour code for the wheels on the slam panel?



if there is what is it or suitable match.

i did say to the missus to keep 6" away from the kerb.

apparently thats where the confusion set in...

To get them back to original mate,you need to put them in and get them powder coated....

I need to get mine done,however i rubbed them down and painted them with Halford silver wheel paint,it takes the bad look off them and has left me with a kind of matt effect finnish, which is actually quite cool

Star Silver is pretty much the standard colour, I have touched up with that colour & it is not that obvious, spray the complete wheel & it should look like it just left the factory.
They look like 16" rims, I am surprised they scraped the kerb, you usually get away with it as the tyres stick out more than the rim.

Actualy it's a perfect match for the Omega wheels .
As they say " here's one I prepared earlier "......
When I got my Elite wheels one was scratched on the broad spoke shown . I used the Wurth paint which has identical flake size as OEM paint  and several coats of Upol clear No. 1 uv resistent laquer with final polishing using 2000 grade wet and dry then T cut and polish.
The Clear No.1 is the only aerosol laquer I use as it does not yellow or tint the paint underneath and even after 3 years now it's still perfect.

They look fabulous
After a badly driven Range Rover forced me to clip a kerb last week, I think I will have a go at sprucing up my wheels 8-)
