A guy over at the Pure Stock site posed this question, regarding the steelies on his '69 Firebird:
"Steel Wheels with dog dish caps... Rim color? Body color?or Black?" The car in question is Carousel Red...

Re: '69 Firebird steel wheel color
Why black Don ? Shouldn't it be body color on a dog dish cap ?

Re: '69 Firebird steel wheel color
Pontiac hardly ever had painted wheels like chevys! Besides it was only offered on certain colors and carousel red cars had Black wheels.

Re: '69 Firebird steel wheel color
My old '69 Firebird was a 1-owner car that was light green with 14"x7" IF code wheels that were BLACK in color and fitted with dog dishes. One other interesting thing about that car was that it was a standard 350 motor with a factory Turbo 400 transmission. That didn't seem right to me, but the car was untouched so I did some research. In '69, if you ordered A/C in your 350 Firebird, they upgraded you to a Turbo 400.
(UPDATED) Well, from how I read the paint chart just posted, my Limelight Green (59) Firebird perhaps should have had Limelight Green wheels? Its certainly possible that somebody rattle canned them for the lady, but I didn't recall any evidence that they were ever green. I put Rally II's on it since I didn't think the dog dishes complemented a 350/auto/factory A/C/dark green deluxe interior car very well.

Re: IF code 14x7 steel wheel on 69 ss camaro
I had a Yellow 69 SS 396 AC Camaro years ago that had the mag wheel hubcaps. I bought it from a elderly couple and it had sheepskin seat covers over white houndstooth. I think it had two XT's and two IF's. Now some dummy will post something right below me.
