This is an excellent site and I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time researching on it in the future. I just bought (on 22Dec06) a '71 Chevelle, Malibu, Convertible with a 350. It is Mulsanne Blue with a black top. I am going to reinstall the original 6 slot rally wheels and I would like to paint them the original factory colors.

Where can I find out what the original colors were for the "outside" and "inside" of these wheels? As I mentioned, the wheels going back on are the originals and they look like part #AW147 from http://www.yearone.com

Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide. Russ

Argent Silver is as close as you can come to the right color.

The inside wheel is a gray color.
