The Pre-War till 47 were Chinese Red, 48 on were an off white cream but not to creamy more white. Ford Wimbolton White is a good match.

Late model wheels were black, and the factory painted the outside "Ford Wimbeldon white"

JimB – Winter 2009

The white started in 1948, before that they were Chinese Red. 1975 Chevrolet truck Crimson Red is a good match.

Some dark blue wheels have been reported on pre-wars, more research needs to be done.
