SD1 Vitesse Alloys

[chassis 33]

I'm going to get the Vitesse alloys reconditioned soon, question is what colour? The car's Moonraker blue and currently they're black lattices with "polished" outer rims, do I ask for the same or revert back to the traditional metallic grey/silver? Or something else?

You could try the colour coded spoke look..keeping the silver rim...
..Perhaps it`s best to do `em nice & silver again..that way if you change your mind..they can be modded back to something more creative with a coat of paint.....
I fancy the black centres too...and had that done on my vandenplas alloys..but on Vitesse alloys..I have never seen one done properly...either the middle hub nut has been silver or the nuts are silver, ruining the look...If it`s black in the middle..everything has to be black, including the middle hub dust cover and nuts...IMO..

I've a set of silver Vitesse alloys that have been re-con'ed so my put one on tomorrow to see how things look compared to the black centred ones.

This one looks the muts danglies www.austin-rover.co.uk/index.htm?cotm200612f.htm and is almost identical, except in much better condition cosmetically, to mine. I guess silver is the way to go if I can source some clear indicator lenses.
