[Tigers] Factory steel wheels

[michael king]

Joel,

1.
The factory steel wheels were a satin black and the front side foam grey (
the off white looking colour) on the front face with overspray going
through the holes.

2.
The later reinforced wheels were also used on all other rootes cars. They
have a small pyramid pressing aiming at each wheel stud hole.

3.
DO NOT!!  Leave the nut faces in the mounting hole recess painted. It will
allow movement and can lead to the nuts coming undone and the holes ovaling
and creating movement in the wheel.

4.
Check any wheel for the mounting holes being ovaled.
