Chrome wheels for 68 would have had a reflective C stripe also, reflective group ? Argent wheels received a non reflective C stripe.

My stripe was gold, not sure if it was reflective

I have a GT with the reflective group and blackout package.  Stripe was reflective black and the rims were a dusty black and lightup at night.

Can't see pictures here if you post them that way and for those that don't belong to FB they can be viewed. Just thought I would mention that  :)

Thought I would share a few pictures of the backside of my spare tire wheel. You can definitely see the overspray of the argent silver on the backside that made it's way through the cutouts. In particular in picture 00 it sure does look like the painter was on an angle when doing the topside silver as there is more silver overspray on the top of the picture than on the bottom.

By the way I went to our Parks Auto Finishes shop and they were able to mix me up some Argent Silver paint for the wheels. They also did some of my Sunlit Gold body paint too  that is spot on.
