 Frank,
 
 The Eastwood Co. catalog shows a silver paint that is claimed to be just the
right wire wheel soft silver color for Triumphs, MGs, et al.  I have no direct
experience with this paint to offer,  but others may have used this product.

Hi,

I just used this very same paint on my TR6 wheels after having them stripped.
The color matched the original center hub cap very closely.  The finish from
the spray can was not as good as what you'd get from a gun, but since most of
my wheels are covered by the hub and trim rings, everything turned out very
nice.
