mark11 260 - wheel colour

[ashton]

having recently bought my mark11 i would like to know if the 10 spoke 18" alloys ever came in grey? i think maybe they have been sprayed after purchase? As they need a refurbishment i thought i would put them back to the original silver. (if thats what they were?). thanks in advance.

Welcome,

I think the original colour was Shadow Chrome. Contact Tim and get your Member Survey, fill it in and you will be able to see lots of threads on colours and where to get your wheels refurbished.

Hello,

Think they were shadow chrome originally, like a grey colour, mine were refurbed at some point as most have been, mine are now standard silver colour...
