& the "H" wheels were no different than any of the other typical steel wheels (the "cheapness" was across the board) - they were all painted gloss black by the wheel manufacturer
45+ year old "H" wheel between the beads
Dan - What plant is this wheel from? It does look more "glossy" than I am used to seeing. The H wheels on A12 cars originated at the M5 plant, so only those from that plant should be used for accurate reference.

Have you taken a tire off to compare the inside of the wheel to the outside of the wheel that has been exposed to varying degrees of UV for the last 40 years ?
Paint and how it was applied back in the 60's 70's is not the same as it is now.
I would flatten it so it looks somewhat close to it did back in the day ...
