Everyone has an opinion, I really dislike black wheels. When shiny and clean with a stationary vehicle as their display they look 'ok'. Get the car rolling, throw on a little brake dust and I do my best to look at something more pleasing.

I have made a command decision. That is after listening to you guys, a visit to Beatham Jaguar restorers in my hometown, and my own gut feeling. The risk of breaking one of those 56 studs is high, so I will leave them in and repaint the wheels. It will be fine, no-one will notice. And the repaint will be the original mag wheel colour, always best to stay with the original.

Thanks to you all for your input, much appreciated.

Well, I had my wheels repaired and painted. The painter masked out every single stud. Yeah, it cost a bit for his labour, but they look stunning. The original colour of course.

 

We all want to see them!
