what color are these supposed to be painted? my ghia was cal style when I got it, but i'm trying to get it back to chrome. so if i had kept it cal style, i'd probably go to black with the chrom ring around the outside.. but now i have no clue. red?? we just painted the ghia(1970) to orignial bahia red.

They did come in gold, but that was a while ago... I hope you aren't thinking about polishing them Shocked That would take about 1 year per rim... the metal under the paint is so porous you will spend hours with a grinder and heavy sand paper before you even get it smooth...
