Rim Color - Beige, almond, cream, white?

[Brockport Bill 1,661]

hi all -- I scrolled through the past threads but still need some claification and updates? I have early 80's C175 - looking for info what manufacturer and paint color for wheel rims? A cream looking color i used 2 years ago is on the c175 in photo below -- I just used a Rustoleum "almond" and it appears a different color than on these rims?? So what "creamy" rim color are folks using -- in the color family of almond, beige, cream etc - not interested in white. Also are you using satins or gloss etc? thanks

Whatever color you want... I think almond looks great.

 

I always use satin.

Rustoleum Navajo White.  Gloss.  Usually over red oxide primer.

Satin Shell White over lite gray primer,,,,, darkens up a tad over time !!

Considering many prices are between 7 and 15 dollars that 4 dollar can is appealing

It’s all personal preference if you ask me. 
  Just don’t paint em bright white  !

  Here one I like and a comparison next to a white wheel off a Craftsman Garden tractor.

I used Benjamin Moore oil base linen white, sprayed with a gun. I don’t think it’s available in a spray can anymore, I know it used to be.

I use Ford Wimbledon White.  It's available at most auto parts stores in spray cans.
