i have 4 straight 914 offset steel wheels i want to refurbish. i do not want to go the powder coating route. i will clean them and blast the faces. durability of the paint is a factor and i want to come as close to the stock finish as possible. what do i look for? manufacturer and color please. thanks.

I followed Randy's tips who did a stellar job on his 1974 Oly blue. There's a thread somewhere in the Originallity section. But to answer your question use Wurth White Alloy paint - part number 0893 339 006 - u. Perfect match for the steel wheel. Do not use the Wurth silver. That is a metalic paint. 0000 steel wool to very lightly wipe down the wheel once your done and the paint is cured. Then polish & wax. I was amazed how nice mine turned out by useing Randy's method. Hope that helps you out.
