some of the originals had a satin chrome finish on them, that sounds like what you have.

After looking around at a million wheel sites I think I've narrowed it down to 2 finishes I like seymours stainless steel paint and their alumi-blast.Has anyone used these products.I think they're all lacquer based.

I have used the stainless steel paint on '69 Shelby wheels. It turned out very well, lasted for years, (I sold the car after eight years) and everyone commented on how good it looked. alum a blast is too light in color, imo
