Anybody?I'll even take advice on what you think looks the best.The car is going to be painted GM Slate grey or if I can find a VW color similar to that I'll use just really haven't looked yet,but I plan on doing the interior black with salt&pepper carpet and a grey headliner so I think that with the insets painted black it will go with the color scheme of the car, what do you think?By the way it's a 66 Fastback.

Not sure of the correct paint, but I used a product that takes paint off of airplanes. I got it from a auto body supply house and if it's safe for the aluminum on a airplane, it's OK for the wheels.
