I'm pretty sure that the 68-9 wheels were all black. Starting in MY 
70 (Aug 69) the wheels were STILL painted all black, but the 
outside face, from the hubcap outward only, was oversprayed in 
silver. Since this is everything you can normally see, most people 
assume that the wheel is all silver, which wasn't true.

Does anyone know when the last year that the early two-tone 
wheels were last available?
