Default red wheel paint

Hi Guys. My newly acquired 62 which is red/red has red painted steel wheels with the standard spinner wheel covers which gives you a red border where the rim is exposed. It looks good to me but does anyone know if they came painted red or were they black? Ive seen them both ways. Thanks and happy holidays

Depends on the tires - with blackwalls, the standard wheels were body color; with whitewalls, they were black. Only the outer face of the wheel was painted with gloss wheel enamel; the rest of the wheel was black primer.
