wheel color question

[wedgie]

Were the stock 1965 wheels all painted body color?

I think it was optional

I believe all '65's had painted steel wheels same as the body. I believe the Hemi cars (if I understood Jim Schilds book correctly) came with the front wheels painted the same as the body and the rear steel wheels were black from the factory. I believe the 64's Max Wedge and Hemi cars came with magnesium american racing wheels on the front only, body colored steel wheels in the rear.

Never know why this is so debated.
Wheelcover equiped, had black painted wheels
Button caps equiped, had body color wheels

up to 1971

Am debating that now for my 71 Fury. Came with poverty caps and black wheels.

I'm breaking the rule. I have the full hub caps/black rims and just for the heck, I've got poverty caps/same black rims

.....except for a12s of course, which came with black wheels, no caps, and chrome lugs only. (and goodyear redlines only).
Edit: does not apply to Hurst Chrysler 300s, which were also A12s.
