Wheel colour question

[Paul K]

All:

Recently added a Plymouth Blue D1 to the fleet. I've never seen rims this colour before. Bit hard to see in the photo, but they're a lighter shade of gunmetal grey. Quite different to the normal silver.



Any idea what the paint code is? I've only ever heard of them once before- someone was ISO but I don't remember who/where. They look cool, so I'd like to know more about them.

Thanks,

Paul.

I'm sure there is some overlap and exceptions, but for the most part it seems that 94 wheels were dark and 95 wheels were light, and 96 had the more rounded 5 spoke light colored wheel

FWIW, I have two 96s with the same (but lighter-shaded) Castor wheels, and IIRC 97 XDs had black-painted Castor wheels as well.

Had those same wheels on a 96 D1 while in Japan.

Always liked them better than the silver version I have on my current 96 D1 here in the US.
