Two-tone olive could also be Chicle and Copra Drab, which would have had a Straw stripe.Whatever, the wheel color (if not black) should match the stripe.
I've had my wheels powdercoated and after 11 years, the color still looks real good, although they're a little faded on the side that gets sun from the garage window.Here in Southern Oregon, it costs between $30 and $40 per wheel, which includes sandblasting.Powdercoating really does a nice, even job, and it's really easy to keep clean.
I'd do it again on my next Model A. (in fact, I powder paint all the little stuff on the chassis, including shock arms, tie rod, oil filler, radiator rods.So much nicer than painting.)
