john rayburn painted mine about a year ago. You can ask him if this is what you are going for.

Have a look at my topic on my 66, I have used some sort of rubber coating with very nice results.

Wait for a hot day, Set the wheels in the sun right before spraying and hardly use any reducer. Do a sample first

I have 2 sets.

One I used hammerite on a hand polished rim which has a stipply effect and sticks welll.

The other I used scotch brite to dull the rim and mixed 2 types of paint (hammerite and normal rattle can paint which then crackled and veined...looks quite pleasing with slicks.

I got a couple of cans of wrinkle paint in a shop specialized in MG, mini and old english car parts in Belgium, so I guess that'll be even easier to find in the uk.. Wink
