On 47 Ford are the painted wheels supposed to have a contrasting stripe or two between the chrome hub cap and the beauty ring? This my car attached below.... This message was edited by cdeac47 on 4-10-22 @ 7:51 AM

Yes, and the stripe(s) will be one of these two colors: Vermillion or Tacoma Cream.

There should be three stripes. Two narrow and one wide. I believe they may have been on all cars except maybe standards. The chrome ring was an accessory. Ford apparently mounted the wheel on a stand so it could be spun and used a three head striping tool to install all three stripes at once.

Hhmmm, I thought so. But I am wondering if that would make it too busy with all the chrome and the wide white tire.. Oh well thanks for the information

Here's a photo of my '47... That is factory paint on the wheels (and car). Too busy? Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Wheels too busy with the factory stripes and factory approved stainless steel ring? I don't think so and apparently Ford didn't either. The question you can only answer. Do you intend to have the car judged? If so you need the stripes.
