Proper Black wheel color for 68?

[HWYCRZR]

What is the proper wheel color for the std black steel rims? My first guess when looking through the FSM is that it would be the same as the black under stripes and accent color. Maybe I am wrong? I have looked at black satin wheel paint in the rattle can and is probably close enough. But if there's an opportunity to do it correctly I like to go that direction first. What have others done?

Gloss black Rustoleum...done.

On my '66, I had the wheels powder-coated semi-gloss black. Came out fantastic!

The originals were a glossy black.

The one on the left must have been the spare for most of it's life

Full wheel covers would have satin, not quite gloss black. Dog Dish gloss body color.

So semi gloss it is. That should put me somewhere in the middle.

It looks likeI have more satin paint plus I do have full covers.

Semi-gloss is right. Gloss black on stock wheels just looks wrong.

I started out gloss and changed to satin. Here is clean, gloss, and satin. The gloss was just too reflective. Besides they will be covered.

Here are my high gloss (for dog dish)

But yes, low gloss/satin with for covers.
