Default Re: 70 Yenko Nova Wheel Paint

Joe C. and Marlin, this subject has been debated for years but the Chevelle, Camaro, and Nova SS wheels were supposed to be Argent Silver with Charcoal inserts. There were some wheels that were painted incorrectly and that is because the Oldsmoble Rally I wheel was the exact same wheel that was chrome plated with black inserts. Years ago I had talked with a guy that worked at Kelsey Hayes about this and he told me that they were running behind on getting the wheels chromed for Oldsmobiles and they actually painted some of the the Chevrolet wheels with black inserts. As far as he knew none of them ended up on the Chevrolet line but they could have. This is why there are some of these SS wheels with the black inserts. I agree with <font color="red"> SS427 </font color> that they are supposed to have charcoal inserts if they are on Chevelle and I will say even on a Camaro. Marlin you know the Deuces better than anyone so they may have been different. Now the black does look better on some cars as I have painted them wrong in the past because of that. I suspect this debate will go on for years [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] ...................RatPack........................ ....
