Thanks Alan - please will you better define inner and outer surafaces (do you mean front and back ?) ?

TOPY pressed and welded the wheels, then sprayed them satin silver all over. Then they painted the outside face - the bit you actually see when they are on the car unless they have a hubcap on - black. The black was an almost matt satin black.

So black outer face, silver inner face and silver under the tyre.

Thnaks Alan - I can't remember the last time I saw a set of originals on or off a car and never in good, painted condition.
Cheers.
