I have them sand blasted, then I prime and paint them. -69 they are all
black, 70- are all black, w/silver outside face. They are EXACTLY as
originally sold in the US. I think this is the same as the rest of the
world, but I have been wrong on that so many times that I won't dare make
that statement again. I suppose that I could do something special, but it
would have to wait for a time when I have a batch to do. The paint is
catalyzed polyurethane enamel (Polane.)
Price is $35 @ for average wheels, $5 core charge. Price can be varied a
bit if you ask for something special or just need a straight set of utility
wheels. I am amased at how good even the really rough, rusty ones look once
you get good rubber on them and mount them on a car.
I had a car where the PO had painted the wheels to match the body. Maybe it
was the color (tan/beige) or maybe it was just me, but I think that car
looked 100% better when I got silver wheels back on it. And, yes, I like
the beauty rings on the early body style, too.
I have a variety of wheels, most Type III years 66-73. A few type I wheels
also that have gotten mixed in. I haven't tried shipping any of these, but
I supppose it could be done.
