We have a customer who owns a BRG MGB and he painted his wirewheels using
Moss MG engine red. He came in over the summer to have his wheels and tyres
balanced and I considered painting them silver while he waited.
Superlite wheels manufactures wheels that look like minilite replicas (and
IMHO are superior in quality) and they come in a variety of colours. If
anyone wishes to view them I have a link to superlite,
http://st143011.ithaca.edu/links/pages and just do a search on "wheels."
