Subject: Re: White wheels on the '86 Coupe

Body:
I am not sure I understand, but I will describe the wheel.
Take wheel, & remove center (plastic) cap that says ascMcLaren.
Take wheel and toss into swimming pool fill with white paint. Okay?
ALL WHITE......All white EXCEPT the outer rim's edge, which is
machined dull silver. The "spokes" are white. The Popsicle Orange
wheels had machined spokes & rim. The Platinum Silver wheels (only 3
cars so made) were totally silver (like the white ones) with machined
edge of rim.
