Michael,

If your car is a CC (or CP) according to Piggot they were silver and have a 
"black-finished centre with the red TR6 motif". Its hard to tell if the 
black was matt or glossy... the silver looks just like the standard silver 
on a TR4's wheels which he describes as "silver lacquer or aluminium wheel 
paint".

If it is a CF then it is a "satin silver" including the centre that was 
black on the CC/CPs. This silver looks very different to the earlier silver 
and I'm not sure what type of paint is used to get that finish...
