Re: 5 Spoke SS Wheels...
I have found some Canadian assembled Magnum wheels have a lighter shade of Charcoal for 1969 only.
It may be just the climate/conditions some of these wheels were subjected to over time.

Re: 5 Spoke SS Wheels...
We've had this debate b4, but never concluded anything. The question was if some of the '70 AO wheels had black inserts, rather than charcoal. Per a wheel article in Nova Times a few years ago, the later wheels in '70 were black - so I painted mine black. However, Vince Emme apparently has a set of AO's from Yenko still in the motorwheel boxes, and they are a very dark charcoal! So, I went and looked at an orig. owner, 12k mile deuce, they looked black to me - so mine are black.
What are yours Schoneye?

Re: 5 Spoke SS Wheels...
They're black now as over the years they got pretty seedy. Originally they were kind of a flat charcol with a bluish cast. I'm not sure how you would duplicate it. Almost looks like the laquer hazed from the factory. I have 3 of the originals from the Peck deuce, and they are the same.
