dynax Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 As above i can't decide which way to go on these wheels, if i was doing a concours restoration i would get new rims and spokes and job done, as i am keeping the " rat look " and new rims would have me go seriously over budget, my options are to clean them up best i can or give them a satin black paint job, over to you some before and after a clean up.

dynax Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Yeah i think i will just do what i can with them, just ordered all new rubber for them, and with the other bits i have bought i am just a few quid under budget now, so any more spending will only be if absolutely necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I agree, keep them as original and clear coat them to preserve the patina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
