wheel color

[Shoprat]

What is the correct original color of the rear wheels on a 1959 900 series Powermaster ?

Appreciate anyone's response.

The wheel centers were painted the same color as the fenders.

The rims were zinc galvanized. Rustoleum Hammered Metal Aluminum (?) is about the closest you can come with paint to the OEM finish, and it is not far off.

I agree with Dean on the centers but of all the rims that I have cleaned up I have yet to come across any galvanizing. Just silver paint.

Wheel color would be the same as the 8n up thru the X00 hundred series. Here is the color on my 900. The front tire is the later series lighter grey.
