Yes. But there is a detail that bothers me. Cars were painted in lacquer. Wheels were painted in enamel.
I'd assume the body colored wheels were painted with the lacquer body paint. Else the paint supplier would have to provide a small supply of colored enamel.

I am sure a company like GM, that makes million of cars, could figure out how to put lacquer on top of enamel primer. Since lacquer dry's in a minute, a thin layer, then final layer would work

Anyway, I need to sell this car so if anyone wants to buy this spare tire, all you have to do is buy the whole car!
I put it on eBay since I don't know exactly what this car is worth to list on the For Sale thread.
