Standard Color was L225, Jupiter Gray.

Deluxe Cars wheels were 2 colors, depending on the color of your car...the wheel outer was a color to go with the color of the car, but not the same color as the car...all inner wheel hubs were L87
pearl White...

PM me with the color of your car and i'll tell you the color of your wheels from the info i have.

I have a ‘57 Oval with L41 paint and red leatherette interior. Were original inner wheels also L87 Pearl White from the factory? Is there a code for the black on outer wheel or is this L41 as well? Thanks in advance!

AFAIK an L41 black '57 Oval would have L41 black rims with L81 parchment white hubs.
