I'm inclined to agree - As long as the larger holes and the front easy bits are clean then the small holes look pretty dark anyway. I have sometimes considered painting those recesses mat black.

I've got the Scorpius wheels on my 1991 SE - they were a factory option, and in my view the most elegant of the alloys. Generally I'd prefer traditional steel wheels with chrome caps and rimbellishers.

On a general point I thought alloys were meant to be alloy coloured - ie highly polished bare metal lacquered to stop them rusting? They usually end up patched up with filler and silver paint because of the expense of proper restoration with metal spraying, re-grinding and polishing.
