Jim, are your Vortex wheels liquid silver (same as star spokes)? If yes where did you get the paint from?
Super job you've done on the wheel centre's I'm hoping to do the same soon :-) I've got a brand new set of liquid silver (mbs) centres but really want to keep them in reserve for future refurb of one of my star spoke sets. Tommy :-)

The oem finish on Vortex rims is a polished diamond cut effect, however when I bought my car the rims had already been refurbed in a painted silver finish. I did investigate having them refurbished in the oem finish but it requires an expensive diamond cutter and I never found anybody that could do it at a reasonable price. In May I had the rims stripped, powder coated and lacquered in silver chrome, looked good but they started to deteriorate within months. So I have had them done yet again, this time by Danum's in Doncaster in sparkle silver (not Rover MNH silver sparkle), really pleased with them. A couple of photo's to show the as new finish Thanks I was really pleased with the refurb of the wheel centres, in the "flesh" the silver doesn't clash as much as the photo seems to show. Just a thought about refurbing star spoke's, have you heard of these people http://www.pxwheels.com/Store/list.php?brand=Rover as they do have sets of star spoke's for part exchange, mind you they aren't all that cheap.

Must be quite an art in ensuring that they always have a stock of wheels in!
