Tdi wheel colour
Another quick one. I have a bog standard steel wheels on my 90, what is the proper colour of the wheels?

I have been told that the body colour is Ivory white, but am wondering whether the wheel colour is the same. I remember they used to be "limestone" years ago.

Limestone was really a Series Land Rover colour, although it did get used on the first year or so of 110 production.

Your wheels should be white. Darren

Just white surely? I wouldn't have thought there'd be a specific shade of wheel white. An engine to TDi for!

i may be talking rubbish but i think the roof on my tdi 90 hard top was 'Alpine White' - maybe the wheels were the same? Cheers, David

Yep, Alpine White, although that's a bit creamier I think. My whole Defender was Alpine white! An engine to TDi for!

My tin of Alpine white arrived today so I will try an area of the wheel to see how close the shade is to original colour of the wheel paint.

I remember buying some generic white wheel paint a few years ago and it was extremely "garish".
