What color should the "background" be on my 82's alloy wheel center (hub) caps (non-Collector Edition)?
Three of them, which look to be original, have more like a "champagne goldish" background color behind the crossed flags image. The other one, which I believe is a replacement, has more like a "champagne silverish" background.
Were the originals silverish when new, having "faded" to the goldish color?
If that is the case, for judging purposes, would I be better off trying to find one used one that's faded, or replace all four (or just the three faded ones) with new reproduction pieces?
