Car was delivered to dealer with poverty caps and black walls customer wanted magnums with red lines. Dealer swapped the wheels to make a sale. Painted wheels were take offs. They still do this today.

Exactly right and I have bought many parts that were take-offs from dealerships...I would rather use those types of parts than the expensive stuff from overseas....
