Wink Having tried the "Tires and Wheels" forum....

.....and gotten no response, I thought I'd try here (the Lounge seems more heavily visited):

I've come across a perfect set of 15" Centerline rims. They're 12" wide for the rears and 10" for the fronts. As I've decided to repaint my Butler black (!), I thought it would be nifty to have GOLD centers. I'd seen this combination on a GT-40 (or whatever the Ford continuation models are called) and also on the old 1970's F1 Lotus "Players Special" and very much like the BBS wheels on Porsches.

Black, silver and gold looks good (at least to me) and I was wondering what process was used to get such brilliant gold centers on the Ford GT-40. Really bright, like chrome (not like me) ar-ar-ar.

Any experience, expertise or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Chow,
