    C1 1959 Corvette

    I'm restoring my 1959 Corvette rims and I have two questions:

    The black paint, is it flat black or semi gloss black?

    The wheel weights used for balancing the tire. Are the weights supposed to be on the inside of the rim only?

    Thanks for your help!

      Well...

      The 53-55 Guide says black on the inner side, my originals appear to be semi-gloss. The outer side of mine are body color, as original. This was not always the case, just a peculiarity of my color combination. The Guide also says the weights were normally on the inner side only. Don't use metric weights, that would be obviously wrong.

        A good starting point, BUT...

        there are a thousand things not mentioned in the NCRS Judging Guide, and at least in the case of the 53-55 Guide, a few things that are just plain wrong.

          The outer face of the wheel is full gloss, whether black or body color; the back side is semi-gloss black (was dip-primed originally).
