5 spoke SS Wheel Paint

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Good pic there Joe/Eric The color of the wheel inserts has been the topic of much debate over the years within the Yenko Deuce community, with no real conclusions yet - except that both black and charcoal have been found.

The set of NOS Magnums pulled from Yenko's shop are still in the Motorwheel boxes with yenko labels on them, and they are reportedly charcoal. Several cars have been found with black, others with charcoal, so it's still a tossup.

I painted mine black bec/ that is what I found on them, and they were original condition. I think the Wargo car has black, but I think Tommy K found charcoal on his original condition a/t deuce. So, it appears that both colors are applicable.

Here are a few more pics of an original Yenko installed Deuce wheel for reference.


The windows of the wheels on this particular car appear to be flat black. I think 35+ years of crud and sun fading may give it a slightly charcoal appearance. These were late April dated wheels.

Now here is a pic of a "factory installed" Magnum 500 that was on a very low mile unrestored 69 L-78 Chevelle. It definitely appears to be more charcoal in color.

Here's a shot of the light grey backside on the original '69 Firestone Wide Oval spare.

The wheels on the 70 black car are originl and the spare is mint. I will try to get it out and take a photo. Sully, you can come and see it in person...

Here are some more photos. It's a March of 1970 AO rim. It was hard to get decent lighting without changing the look of the paint.
