83 Z28 Rim color?

Wanted to know if factory wheels were painted a solid silver or were they two-tone. Any closeup pics would help!

Re: 83 Z28 Rim color?

My research, the N90 Factory Wheels were painted lower body color (accent code). The insert (where the lugs are mounted) are semi black. The raised edges rim surround was unpainted, casting machine color. All of this appears to be clear coated.
My wheels are Silver, and I'm in the middle of a repaint of the entire car...
Conflicting paint codes appeared for searches. But the paint is called Silver Poly. I found the code of WA8536 for 1983. In 1985 the code was WA7448; again, called Silver Poly.

Color Codes - WA8536 Cross-Reference (paintref.com)
