Shiney Sunburst wheels

[my427cobra]

Hi all. Would anyone like to speculate about the finish on these Sunburst wheels on this car pictured at the Simeone Museum:

polished?
chromed?
Diamond Brite spray "chrome"

I love the look and think making my Sunburst wheels look shiney like this would look great against my Rangoon Red color.

Anyone know the wheel finish?

Cheers
Greg

Respectfully disagree.

Yeah computerworks - I know - blasphemey. Having a heck of a time keeping these rough cast wheels clean.

Maybe that clear Diamond Brite coating from Eastwoods. As long as it doesn't yellow.

Same issues were on my 10-spokes on my GT-350.

Used Simichrome (sp?) to shine the ribs and let the rest take on an appropriate mother-nature look.
