Dave, I am restoring an A and I painted the front wheels IH red and the rims with IH white. They call it white, but it is actually more of a cream color. I painted the rear wheels and rims white, because it was easier than pulling them off for the third time and separately painting the wheels red. They look fine and I will add the wheel weights (red) for contrast. Just about everyone who has seen it has said the colors look great and go well together. My .02. Have fun! Greensboro George

I just went through this myself. There are alot of different paints used, seems to be personal preference as far as specific color. Check out the archives in this forum as well as under paint and body work for some recent posts. I chose an argent color "GM 13 bright silver" to be exact. Im happy but would probably choose something a litte more gray if I did it again, I think the darker silver might better match the original galvi. Just be prepared for alot more choices of silvers than you could ever imagine. Good luck

I also used a GM rally wheel color, don't remember the GM name, it is a silver argent color, not bright silver, not gray either. PPG number is 8568.

Dave, Those rims were originally galvanized. So everyone out there has there own ideas on how they should look now. The only right way would be to get them galvanized again. For thos of us who cant afford that we paint them. I prefer using Rustoleum Aluminum.,just my preference, I think they look good.
