Getting the Wheeling Fever
Anybody know the color code for the orginal
steel wheels?

Have 5 of them with bad paint that I would like
to get in better shape.

If you are painting the whole thing, get whatever color you like. Changing them to black is cool.


I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

They came chrome, but I know the bad paint thing. My silver truck's rims had been painted silver/gray. So I rattled canned them black, MAJOR improvement. Sparkem has them I think still. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I've had one good condition painted steel wheel, kinda green silvery metallic like the old Chevy Rallye wheels. Krylon marketed some 'OE' type colors a few years ago. I've seen gold metallic wheels on 86 Monteros and 87 Raiders.

Hmmm <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Looks like you guys got the crome version and we got the
white paint version.

Picture of painted steel wheel

Have seen a couple of imported Pajeroes with crome wheels.

Maybee i just paint them a nice shade of white.
(or tell the guy with the powder coat to use white..)

Not all steelys here in the US were chrome. More were painted than chorme or aluminum.
