Title: Wheel/Tire Rims - what color? cadmium or black ???

Were the early Plymouth rims black or Cadmium plated? 

If cadmium, what color would that look like?  Pewter?

John - I had mine powder coated black a few years ago when I replaced my tires, tubes, etc.  I have seen both in many photos when I was researching the same subject.  I have an old photo of a '29 Roadster coming off the assembly line (it's been posted here before and the photo is out on the internet) and the wheels are clearly black and not the cadmium/silver color.  I'm sure it doesn't matter what color you choose.  I also went with black wall tires, also like the car in the photo and is probably what came with and most appropriate for the early Plymouths.
