I never knew this, I don't see anything in google about the wheels being available in body color, no RPO either. How is this verified? My shipper has Special Paint on it, but nothing about the wheel paint.

Since Fathom Blue was discontinued in January 1968, it was only available as Special order. LOS cowl tags still used the old codes, so my tag is PAINT E-E

It doesn't show on a shipper but if you have a Body Broadcast Copy it will show in box 109 what the color of the wheel was from the factory. X would be for standard silver paint but the attached example shows A for Tuxedo Black and this was on a black '67 Z.
