Jerry, I'm preparing to paint a set of 5.5" wheels for my '58, I got them off a '61 taxicab. There seems to be mixed opinions on the wheel color. Noland's book states "while we can't be certain, it is generally believed that all 58 and 59 wide wheels were black". The NCRS JG says all '58 wheels were silver. Your article agrees with the JG, my question is how did you discern this info? At this point it does not matter to me what color I paint them, I'm just trying to make them correct. Thanks and best regards, Mark.
