I thought the dog dish got body color wheels and the full wheel cover got black wheels. That's how my Nova is.

That was the general rule, but exceptions have been noted... One in particular that comes to mind is Joey Swezey's gold 69 Dana Nova. Might have just been a supply issue, ie: no wheels in the correct body color as the car was coming down the line, so they ended up with black ones instead. Just a guess.

According to JohnZ all 5 wheels were painted at the same time as the front sheetmetal, at Chevrolet assembly.
