Guess I should follow up on this thread...

What color did I end up with?  None of the above.  I saw a cherry stock 94 with the silverish alloys and was inspired.  I painted the wheels with Duplicolor wheel paint (silver).  Seems to be some nice paint.







I was getting all worked up about getting the tire over the rim, until I found a writeup and actually tried it.  What a piece of cake.

I had some trouble getting the outer ring started because of the thickness of the bead, so I went and got some 1 1/2" long bolts (8) to pull the ring down so the supplied bolts (1 1/4" long) would reach.

Also - I wanted to use the flush mount stems, but the welded ring is in the way, so I went with 45 deg angled stems.  Hopefully they won't get ripped off.
