Dunlop still makes these wheels. They are the same as an MG Midget. In the USA they are available from Moss Motors. The original color has a slight gold tint in the typical silver as it appears on Jan Servait?? original wheel color disk.

Here is a wire wheel with original paint.Maybe you could print this and take it somewhere to match it.....

This is probably as close as you'll get in a rattle-can:

Moss Motors:

Part #220-560 -- Spray Paint; Silver-Gray Disc & Wire Wheel Paint -- $19.95

Follow it up with some Krylon clear coat to give a nice finish.

The other product that was reasonably close was Eastwood's "Detail Silver Wheel Paint" which is now discontinued.

Hi again

It's been quite a while since I've looked on this thread. First of all thanks for all the respond! The "Jan Servait?? original wheel color disk" what is this exactly? Is it Dunlop related? And lastly is it possible for me to have a copy of this original wheel color disk?

Kind regards
Kenneth
