Going to clean them up and spray them tomorrow 
Then do I clear coat? Or just wax?

How durable would a clear coat? Do you reckon it would start pealing / flaking at all? And then with wax the question is would it protect them enough...

I am spraying between the spokes yes Bad not black but grey. Can't wit to fit them back on with the new rubber 
Ok so these are going on with new non run flat tyres today I cant wait to say i am excited is an understatement!!
The DIY refurbishment has been a massive pain in the but. And i would highly recommend that you don't bother!!! And just pay a professional. The pictures make them look better than they are. I had to rush the painting
They will probably get more paint and polish over the winter. But now the weather looks to be turning i want to enjoy my first ever year with roof down motoring. I will post some pictures on the car when done and if i can work out how to do it on my ipad.

Looking good as always MM. Looks like a lot of hard work, look forward to seeing them on..!
Thanks guys they look better from a 1m away!! It was so much hard work define toy a labor of love.
I honestly didn't think proper tyres and not the silly RFTs. Would make such a difference. I haven't noticed a difference in flat out grip as they are still new! But there is more feeling thro the steering and I don't drive around cringing. I have fallen head over hills in love with her again :wub:
I will wash all the gunk off and give her a wax tomorrow. And post some pics. Kind of wish I had a darker colour now to show off the shine better.

Good to hear the tyres make such a difference. Can't wait to put some on mine. Fed up wandering around over white lines
