Correct color for factory wheels on a 56

Black Bug

I have a set of old, rusty factory wheels I want to have powdercoated for times I may want to look stock. What color should 56 factory wheels be?

If you're looking at powdercoating, get them done in Satin Black.

Then you can have the face painted 2-toned to match/compliment the exterior Beetle color

I have a black 56 with red interior. I want to paint my wheels two-toned with black outer and white inner. What color white is good to use, and where can I buy a spray can version of this paint?

I don't know if this is an exact match or not

Great thank you both for the info. Will use this to get pearl white paint for my wheels!
