What would the color of the back of this wheel be ? I know the front is silver and charcoal black but what is the correct color for the back ?
also what is the correct color of the wheel wrench?

I think they were a light gray color. Also behind the beauty rings, it is the same color as the back. I don't know the actual name to that color. It looks like it could be semi-gloss or glossy.

Mine are a light grey color, I would say it is close to a ford engine grey or a Navy color ASA61 grey is even closer. My car has one of the original tires in the trunk, and that wheel is in nice shape. The paint on the back of the wheel was still nice looking. I have asked this before myself and most people think they are the same silver color as the rest of the wheel. They could be different from 69 to 70 or Kelsy Hayes I think that's who made them change at some point?????

It's a putty grey, semi gloss. If you go by a GMC dealer and they have a pickup with the dual rear wheels, check to see if they are the stock steel or the chrome. The stock steel are painted this exact grey.
