Factory wheel - was this area painted or not??
86Woodgrain:
So... I may get my wheels refinished. I sent pics to the wheel guy and he said it looks like the slots on the wheel were painted grey but I'm not sure. I think they were just blasted finish and the whole wheel clear coated.
Were the slots in the wheel from the factory painted or not? I could not tell from searching.
86Woodgrain:
Here is the best wheel I've found so far but it has 111,000 miles on it so not necessarily original. Does it look painted?
AMC of Houston:
I dunno. I have a boatload of original AMC parts/repair/body/sales manuals; and can find nothing definitive to support either paint or no paint. So do what you want!!

Thanks! My preference is to blast the pockets and no paint. The dude does CNC lathe cutting of wheels, seems to do a good job. Not cheap though.

I have a set of those wheels that need redone - for my waggie. Here its $150 each for a redo.
