Pity they were repainted. They do look good though! Extremely light as well.

Any idea if they were originally gold or black?

As far as I know, these wheels were all black originally. I think some of the remakes were available in gold. Possible that some of the originals were painted by their owners.
One wheel done - three to go. This is as good as I can get them by hand. I moved the centre around after this pic so that the valve lines up with a blank spoke :

It'll be well worth it. Attention to detail is what everyone loves to see.

RE: Charlie - Mini Mk3 - Miniac - 11-23-2015

It really is a pity about the scuff marks though Confused

It is a pity . . . But if you don't look too hard, you won't notice them.

RE: Charlie - Mini Mk3 - Miniac - 11-23-2015

I'd imagine that once the wheel nuts are on that the marks will disappear into the background. We definitely never noticed them when the wheels were fitted to Spencer.
