My GTS now has aftermarket 15" rally's, but I'm buying the correct 14x5.5J steelies off Egag as I see them, trying to get a full set. My GTS originally came with full wheel "deluxe" covers, so the rim would have been satin black. My car is Q5, so if it had been equipped with dog dishes, would the rims be Q5, or could they have been black? Scott B. "I'm a self-made man...

Not questioning you, just trying to get all the info. I had a December built 71 Cuda dog dish car. Broadcast sheet called for ev2 wheels, car was delivered with black. Found original owner who had pictures of car when he took delivery. 14" wheel car if that matters.
