What was the OEM finish on 300D W123 Wheels? (85 300D)
What was the OEM finish on 300D W123 Wheels? (85 300D)
Sometimes I wish I were back at the stage where the car was well kept, and well maintained mechanically "banger" because the next step up, restoration turns into obssession and gets EXPENSIVE. Can you imagine $300 for powdercoating +$300 for good tires + $80 for sandblasting --RESTORATION -almost $1000 total $140 for cheap KUMHO's -- BANGER -- a savings of $860 |

IIRC its aluminum painted and clearcoated.
I'm running Kumho A/S 795s on mine currently and I did a quick DIY refinish on the wheels, not factory shiny but better than the yellowed flaking clearcoat!

After having them bead blasted carefully, you can paint them with rattle cans of that soft (warm?) silver that is used on British wire wheels and other silver painted wheels. Clear coat them afterward though. They'll last a lot longer that way.
