    Early steel wheels question - finish?

    If a car came with a painted steel wheel as a spare, I would assume that the car had painted steel wheels all around originally. If the spare is chrome, the car most likely had chrome steel wheels. I am trying to figure out the correct wheels for my 65/66. It has a painted slotted steel spare.
    Thanks.

    My car has a chrome spare and the car came with chrome wheels...I would say painted for you, but check the date stamp on the spare to make sure fits the car.

    I'd wait for the Certificate of Authenticity to be sure.

    Eric, I am now much too poor to afford good parts from reliable sources. I will have to underground for now...

    As far as the tach shot, here you go:

    Hmm. . . nice early tach. What's the date code? Trying to figure out the cutover point, mine dates from 2.66, note different legend.

    When I get a chance to pull it, I will make sure to post. I just looked at my steering wheel and it is stamped "1165". I assume this is a manufactured date? Seems late given my VIN, but who knows?
