U.S.A Registered: May 2004	posted 05-25-2004 08:46 AM Hello friends, I started to restore my spare tire rim which I beleive has the original firestone safety champions tires that look like the,ve never met the pavement. When I started wet sanding the rim- this red paint started to appear. Red is the original color of the car. I was wondering if any of you all could tell me if they originally painted the rims to match the car. Thanks, John 67 coupe IP: Logged
