[ROVERNET - UK] SD1 Cast Aluminum Wheels

[James Dean]

I clean SD1 wheels with a good mag wheel cleaner, then paint them with a 
spray can of Hammered silver finish, I think it is made by Rust-O Leum, now. 
It used to be made by Hammerite, and probably still is in England. Just 
shake the can every minute. I buy it at Home Depot. They look better than 
original.  I use the same on all steel disc wheels, or black hammered finish 
where appropriate. On Magstars I use silver instead of the black it should 
be, on the outer steel,as I think it looks better.  By the way, I just sold 
the factory air system  (body portion only) from my P5B partscar., and took 
photos if anyone needs photos of what it should look like.
