The color may be off; dupli-color’s Engine GM blue. I’m going to order some Code 23 GM Medium Blue from Automotive Touchup Paint and see how that looks. But this is a step in the right direction. I’m also working on tinting the rear windows. 15x6, 205 70 15

Nice look. I forgot you had this.

Have you looked to see how early this van is in the production run, and how many other early ones are known?  I suspect yours is one of the oldest survivors.

I love body colored wheels and dog dishes....I wish they could find a way for body colored rims to make a comeback...

It’s not too hard.

That looks  great! The only appropriate wheels for a work vehicle of this era, IMO.

Nope, and they don’t look bad at all, at least to me!

Even factory colored rims other than black, graphite gray, or silver would be nice...I always thought colored rims in general look pretty cool, but there are almost none around from the factory anymore and comparatively few people do it as a mod to their cars.

Red?

A dove-y/pigeon-y gray?

Why not creme white? :)

Colored wheels just look awesome. :P

Any local auto paint supply shop should be able to mix you up a spray can of just about any color you know the code for  easily enough while you wait. No need to pay shipping or anything like that.

I though you would approve. But I think the blue is not quite right. Only those two wheels are installed right now. When the next two come, I’ll spray them with GM Medium Blue Code 23 and see how they look. I’ll keep you posted.
