... Now since a SuperSport automatically came with full wheel covers, if white wall tires were ordered, the rims would have been black, but IF the car was built with the standard black wall tires, I'd suspect it would be delivered with body colored wheels.

That may be true on Impalas, but 68 SS Camaros (car in question) did not get full wheel covers as standard equipment as part of the SS package, they got steelies with dog dishes. I still say cars that came with black wheels likely came that way because of a supply problem with having the proper color of wheels at the time of assembly... The fact that the wheel paint was totally different type of paint than the body paint makes me feel even more confident that this could have, and likely DID happen on occassion...
