Wheel Color

Post by 2001f4s »

I've noticed a variety of wheel colors (colours) on the Roadsters. Were these various colors stock from the factory or repainted to suit the owners taste? I am in need of a wheel repaint.
Was thinking of having the hammer gray wheels powder coated in a cream color. But originality is more important to me. Thank you in advance for the input.

They were the same colour as the body as were the fenders. Two tone colours were an option only on the pre war cars.

Thank you Peter.
Just to make sure I am clear. My red car should have red wheels?

Hi Scott,

Yes, that is correct. A red car would have red wheels.

Cheers,
