If you can track down a set of original VL Calais wheels and polish them up to a mirror finish, they look absolutely mint! My old Kimberly Bronze Berlina looked just average on painted interceptors. Polished Calais wheels completely changed the look of it and being a period correct 16" (I think) they just look right.

@@georgeauto once upon a time people might have looked down their noses and said "but it's not a Calais!". But at nearly 40 years old I reckon it's just a tasteful OEM+ addition. Plus there was a time when all the Calais were running ceptors because BT-1s were in fashion so it's only right for an SL to go up-market in return 😜

Hi great job mate I have a bt1 same colour or cardinal red which is very similar, also did it in the garage, paint came out great and was very happy with the finish, however the spray putty even after fine tuned sanding started to expand and contract after a few weeks with different weather changes, I was told I should of used the enamel putty with the acrylic paint to stop this happening, hope this small info helps future home painters in the future.
