Chuck,
I have a "driver" TF, that I keep presentable but not show. For a nice
look but not show, I lightly wire brush my spoke wheels every year or so,
then spray a light coat or two of any brand of spraycan silver, followed
five minutes after the last coat with one or two light coats of spray can
clear. The clear will dull out or grey the shinny silver to exactly the
right shade that was original. Total cost is $2 if you buy $1 cans.
Remember to wash the wheels before starting the process.
Mike
