Topic: OEM finish for 68 styled steel argent wheels ?

[preaction]

Chrome wheels for 68 would have had a reflective C stripe also, reflective group ? Argent wheels received a non reflective C stripe.

My stripe was gold, not sure if it was reflective

I have a GT with the reflective group and blackout package.  Stripe was reflective black and the rims were a dusty black and lightup at night.

Can't see pictures here if you post them that way and for those that don't belong to FB they can be viewed. Just thought I would mention that

Thought I would share a few pictures of the backside of my spare tire wheel. You can definitely see the overspray of the argent silver on the backside that made it's way through the cutouts. In particular in picture 00 it sure does look like the painter was on an angle when doing the topside silver as there is more silver overspray on the top of the picture than on the bottom.

By the way I went to our Parks Auto Finishes shop and they were able to mix me up some Argent Silver paint for the wheels. They also did some of my Sunlit Gold body paint too  that is spot on.

Here's an oddity I'm guessing.  I met the 2nd owner of my car who shared a number of pieces of info that were very helpful.  He also had a tire and wheel that he got from the original owner.

From looking at the wheel it looks like it could have been originally installed on my car from the trim ring scratches on the front side and am 8MD date or April 68 which is the month my car was built,  though early April. It also had AA embossed on the wheel.  The spare tire wheel that was in my car has AC on it.  Not sure what that means.

On the backside I was expecting to see black as we've discussed with styled wheels.  In fact it's all silver front and back.  Any thoughts?

Difficult to see if there is any difference in the wheel weight (not original) and mounting arm to the silver color applied to the back side of the rim.

I've painted them like this decades ago but haven't found them like that. We'll see if anyone else can come up with some like this
