So I got a good deal on a pair of American racing-ish 15x7 wheels that resemble those from the early 60s that many of the super stocks and AFX cars used. They are just aluminum Chinese made things so I not worried about playing with them a little. I’d like to make them look like old magnesium rims. I noticed a lot of the old magnesium wheels are completely dark grey (painted or powder coated). Bob Mosher seems to paint a lot of his this colour and they can also be seen on the Lee Smith 65 Plymouth. Any reason why they are all dark grey and not more light grey spokes and polished lips in like in the pics I attached?
