I can't help but notice that the standard wheels on the Chimaera are a very dull silvery grey colour, they don't stand out at all.

Has anyone painted them a brighter silver? I had my Z4 wheels refurbished and painted a high power silver by The Wheel Specialists and they looked great, I'm wondering if I should do the same with the TVR.

To give you an idea of what I mean, standard wheels (they look more grey than silver and certainly don't stand out)

It’s probably most noticeable when I have the TVR parked up next to my Caterham. The Caterham wheels are painted in a bright polished aluminium colour and are really bright. I think they look great, I reckon it would look good on the TVR too.

Nice, thanks for the photos, I want to keep the car looking standard, just brighten it up a bit, so no anthracite or gold for me! I think I'll go ahead when funds allow...
