Hello! I've been wanting to install my SS caps and have wondered. Are the wheels supposed to be argent silver when the SS hub caps were installed or are they supposed to be black? The argent just doesn't look right. Thanks!

Not sure of what the SS hub cap looks like for a 68, but if it is a full wheelcover, the wheel was black. If it was a "poverty" style cap, the wheel was body color.

From CRG-

"Wheels were painted black if full disc style hubcaps were ordered on the car. If the smaller 'dogdish' style hubcaps were installed, the wheels were painted body color. Rally wheels were painted 'argent silver'"

Say, do you still work on wiper motors?
