Color for stock wheels

[billschroeder5842]

I'm feelign a bit retro and ordered a set of 14" steelies that I'm going to put the factory hub cap on.

The wheels are sandblasted so I'm going to paint them before mounting the tires.

What color did stock steelies come in? Did they match the color of the car (white) or where they black?

Thanks!

Body color until some time during the 71 model year run....then they were all black.

Exceptions would be the A12's and the Steel Wheel T/A Challengers......and full wheel cover cars.

Thanks-also, what would be the tire size that would be appropriate? the wheels ar 14 x 5.......

F70-14 was the "good" size back then on a 14"

beanie hub cap cars had body colored wheels and full wheel cover cars had black wheels , correct ?

Bill - I have 2 full hub cap cars - both 69's. The one I can confirm as original wheel paint is black. Car is R4

Yes, my W11 full hub cap coded '69 R/T was coded X9 black for the steel wheels

so if your fender tag doesnt have any designation for wheel cover, does that mean no hubcap? or??

Looks like I'll be going with the black wheels then. That seems to be easier.

Nothing on the tag for hub caps.....It'll be on the b/c sheet.

I concur...only on the Broadcast sheet you will find the code for wheels/wheel covers
