The main reason I'm thinking paint, is because there is damage in places. There's sole hefty stone chips and where the balancing weights have been there's a bit of wear..
I did also think about polishing them!! But the caps are plastic and they'd stick out like a sore thumb..

Cheers pal, they're a funny old shape and they're gonna be tricky to fit..
They're 18x10 et57! It does mean I've got plenty of room in side when I get the spacers knocked up to have um sitting just right..

Pink looks better than the blue. Why not roll around on them as they are for a while..
