Wheels Mounted - What do you think?

[MosportGreen66]

I like those pictures of Steve's wheels. I got the same batch of pictures in a very generous e-mail from him (thanks LV!). If I remember correctly -- The color gold was matched from a can of spray paint. The original color was found on an NOS set of wheels that came with Steve's DH Camaro.

SixtiesMuscle -- I would find it hard to believe that the KH factory painted the wheels. The advertisment of the wheels (with the mustang drag car center stage) does not display the wheels in any sort of color; just a bare metal look. I think that DH and FG painted the wheels.

Spoke to the painter, he said he can paint right over the exsisting color. What should I do with color? Bare metal/silver type or gold? If he mixed some Autumn Gold and painted the wheels it would not look bad either!

I'm still curious what Joe thinks about who painted the wheels gold. The whole "NOS" concept doesn't fly. That means that K-H was supposed to have painted them gold. I assume Kim Howie has also done some research on this subject, so, any thoughts Kim?

These Satin Strippers are on Ebay now. SATIN STRIPPERS
When these rims were painted,either Gold or black,were the Top of the Spokes left unpainted?

I believe the Satins had the unpainted flats on the spokes just like the pic in the ebay ad.
