I’m having a new set of wire wheels build for my 36 high cab in 16” due to the fact that 17” tires are not available in my country.

I’m thinking the gloss black but are in two worlds with the wires itself. For strength and rust prevention polished stainless steel or complete black powder coated. I know the original wheels were complete black but this is a high quality resto mod and not original. Do you guys think the polished stainless steel wires would make it look like too much of a hot rod ?

. The 1936 wire and artillery wheels on all commercial vehicles were black but could be order in body color or contrasting color. Truck and commercial car colors were enamel where as passenger car colors were Lacquer. GM has some info on 1936 passenger cars at this web page. . www.gm.com/content/dam/company/no_search/heritage-archive-docs/vehicle-information-kits/chevrolet/1936-Chevrolet.pdf . .
. Here's a web page focusing on 1937 colors. . home.znet.com/c1937/paint.htm . . The truck colors are the same as 1936. .
1936 Pontiac 16" wire wheels will fit Chevy and GMC half ton. Good luck! Lou .
