My imolas are in need of a refurb. I did toy with the idea of getting some dished wired wheels 16" fronts and 17" rears and selling on the imolas but for the moment have decided to keep them and give them a new lease of life. I think I will use Premier as they seem to get a lot of good reviews. My chim is viper blue so the question is would they look better in a white or a black finish instead of the standard silver?

Just had my Imolas refurbished by Taylor TVR. They are fantastic!!! Like new. Thorough job, tyres off etc. IMHO they do look better in original silver. Also, a lot written on here about originality at resale. A no-brainer in my opinion.

Hey what about sand blasting, then polishing til they shine then tons of laquer, would the alley under the paint polish up, if so they would be outrageous, kinda chrome/ proper polished so you could shave in them! Lol. Has anyone done it ? I'm dying to try it with mine, the original wheels look the best to me!

James thank you for your offer I have sent you a mail. After thinking about it original wheels do look right for the car including the sizes and colour although I do have a soft spot for dished wires on this type of car.
