Hi Jan
Just a couple of thoughts on this one. Firstly, why not just get a spare set
of wheels/tyres?
Secondly, if you have the wheels sprayed in cellulose as per the rest of the
car they will chip easily. I would recommend getting them stove enamelled.
>From memory, I don't think that Rootes cars generally had the wheel colours
matching the body, most were that off-white colour.
