1969 F250 4X4
I'm going back with a tall, skinny, mud/snow lug tire. Probably a 900X16. I'd like to know what color white ( there's a ton of white colors) to paint/powder coat the rims? Bright white? Off white? Antique white ? I figured y'all would have an opinion
Thanks!

 

I'd go with white.

 

OEM would have been Corinthian White.

 

Excellent, thanks

 

Just throwin' this out there, who says they have to be white? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And that be you. I say paint them body color, gray, or the white of your choice. Which ever color YOU'D like to be next to your hub caps and the paint on the truck.

 

What color is the truck??? White may not be the "best" option.

If the truck is white, I probably wouldn't put white wheels on it.

 

It's the baby blue? factory color...white seems like the color.

Thanks

 

Are the bumpers and grille white or anodized and chrome?

 

White and rust color

 

IMHO I'd paint them body color. I'm prolly older than you but if you added more white via the wheels the truck would remind me of the light blue polyester Men's shirt with white collar and cuffs from the 70's Disco era.

I'd have the grille and bumpers done at the same time to match, that'd look great.

 

 

Wellll, that grill guard might need a little sanding before you get the paint brush out.

 

In 1969 I believe it would have been Wimbledon White, paint code M1619. Corinthian White (M1238) was used 1960-63.

 

As far as I know, Wimbledon White was a body color. Some information suggests painted wheels, bumpers and grilles were Corinthian White while some suggests they were Colonial White. Not sure what's actually correct.
