Mark,
The color will change quickly once you get brake dust on them. Leave them
and spend the money on the next item. It think they look better than chrome
personally.

Subject: [Healeys] Wire Wheels again
Has anyone been successful at putting a more desirable "silver tone" color
on
their new Dayton wire wheels recently. I am in the process of purchasing
new
ww wheels for the Healey but as mentioned previously
the drab grey paint that Dayton insists is original is soooo butt ugly. I
have
a set on my MGA and they really don't pop out like the Dunlap color does.
How much of a pain in the ass is it to put a DIY paint coat on the Daytons.
My MGA ww look like they have a top clear coat on them so I imagine that has
to be sanded off first? I really hate to go through the entire job just to
see the paint start to peel off in a year or two.
Yes, I know the chrome ww look nicer but I still need the tires, drum
balancing, and wheel truing just to get the Healey rolling safely again.
Not to mention a paint job.
What is the personal experience in painting the Daytons?
Mark
