they are only basic steel wheels buy them in white and paint them your self! or if you wan't a professional finish take them to any body shop and have them sprayed it won't cost that much

Or go down to a local paint supplier and ask them to get you some aerosol cans of RAL 3024 or 3026

If you spray them yourself, well worth applying a spray lacquer as well - makes them slightly more stone chip resistant!

I sprayed my standard steels before the bad winter weather but the paint is knackered again, would the laquer stop the paint lifting too?

It should certainly help - sprayed and lacquered mine in Feb - take it along a 1 mile gravel path to the stables 3 times a week and the wheels have survived that.

Before spraying I cleaned up the wheels with a drill wire brush attachment, applied kurust where needed, primed to give a good key and then sprayed and lacquered.

Advice is to allow the top coat to harden (24 hours) before applying the lacquer.

Accept not the same as off roading - for now was a cheap and relatively labour easy solution to rusty wheels! My view os I can now easily touch up if required.
