I'm guessing that I have never seen Silver wire wheels on a Morgan...
I've seen black and Stainless polished wire wheels...

Are the silver wheels painted?

Anyone have a picture that shows them well?

Are they nice?

Thanks

I had silver painted wires on my Morgan for many years until I replaced them with black ones.

They look fine, and in my opinion are much more suited to a traditional car than chrome or stainless wires, which are a bit too ostentatious and "blingy" to sit well with a Morgan.

There's a pic of my car with them on at

Mine are silver however I am thinking of having them powder coated a dark red to match the interior trim which I always thinks looks good.

Wheels painted to match the interior trim is always a good idea. I reckon they'll look great!

Both of you also own a defender... I feel surrounded by brethren...
Mine's a 2014 Defender 90
I need to add a signature to my messages...

So I think I get it now they are a matt silver painted version.
Looks just like the wheels on my neighbours MGA

Thanks

2014 Defender, there's posh! Ours is a 90" Hardtop with the Td5 engine, a great workhorse.

Our '72 4/4 4 pass still has the silver painted wires it came with.


if it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is.

For me painted wires look best in black, body colour or silver on any Morgan. I believe painted silver are now standard on 4/4s with black or body colour being an extra cost option.

The best colour for a Defender smile I was sorry to see my 2007 LWB SW go it had a lot of character.

Silver wheels on my white 4/4. I don't think I would change them for another colour.

The photo is not a close up but you will get the picture.
