Nice paint finish, can you give details? What wax did you use?

They are an OEM wheel:

I didn't treat them myself, they came as standard on the SP10..

"19-inch cast alloy rims with V-shaped spokes in a diamond turn finish and painted in high-gloss black"

I meant the body not the wheel

Oops, sorry.

BravoV8V said:

Here's the story: that style of wheel is available from AM in 3 finishes: silver, graphite/diamond cut and black/diamond cut. (The black is only available to order on specific cars, such as the SP10, and can't be bought directly from AM).

there is the mid grey painted finish for the N430 too

Great post for us all, thanks BravoV8
Maybe post this in a new Alloy wheel refurbishment blog?

I certainly can. Did you have a particular blog in mind? (And when you said 'blog', did you really mean 'thread'?)

Great!!
Indeed you are quite right a "post"
I have dug an old post out and added something to it...

Ah, good point. My gen pre-dated the N430.

Nothing for almost 3 weeks. Can't see her being taken for a gallop this week either,,,,best go and connect the trickle charger.

Opened the boot to connect the t/charger,,,there inside were the original side strakes. I'll keep those safe somewhere me thinks, picked them up and couldn't believe the weight of them,,, put them on the kitchen scales, almost 2kgs.

Not a good idea to scare off the old grannies ,Tony, that's about all you're likely to "pull" nowadays.
