[Healeys] Correct Wheel Color for painted wheels

[editorgary at aol.com]

IMANSHO, the Argent would be more typical of what we see today, i.e. bright
(shiny) silver, but the original wheels were actually more of a dove gray than
shiny gray. Given that most people are trying to decide between painted and
chrome wheels, rather than between shiny gray and dove gray, most people
expect to see shiny silver wheels if they are, in fact, painted. Pretty much
your choice.

Long time no see.

I've been off the list for a few years.

Anyway, IMNSHO, that paint is too dark. It's like the color on the center of
BBS wheels.

Good results can be had with their "Argent" silver:
