Noticed whilst trawling through past archives a nice set of gold SR 3 spoke wheels.
I have SR wheels but have been curbed to buggery and had v dodgy respray by prev owner. Anyone oot there got advice on best way to clean up and a good paint to recommend? Going for silver (or possibly met black). Don't really want to get rid of as look ok on car and tyres are v good.
