Tan dually wheels

I'm looking for some pics of tan dually wheels. I've got simulators on my truck now, and I think that painted wheels with beauty rings and the stainless centers off my simulators might look good. I've found white, green, red, orange, yellow but no tan.

So if you've got pics, or a truck with tan rims post them up!

Re: Tan dually wheels

Go buy a can of Krylon in the color you like and do a quick spray if you like it take them off and do it right. If not throw the simulaters back on and your out $5, no blood no foul.

Whatever you do post pictures so the erst of us know how it looks.

That's very similar to what I'm looking for, but in tan. That's actually one of the trucks I've got saved for an example.

Re: Tan dually wheels

The wheels and sides are light tan, not white... the pic just doesn't come out right...

Re: Tan dually wheels

I think the wheels would look good tan. I second trying it first, then putting the simulators back on if you don't like it.

Re: Tan dually wheels

It was a stock colour in the '70's.

Re: Tan dually wheels

That looks about right in that scan, maybe a little lighter


found this thread, these are all supposed to be santa fe tan, look how different they look due to photoraphy but indeed, this is the color on the sides and the wheels. The wheels also have a little pinstripe on them, not sure if original but sure looks that way

Re: Tan dually wheels

The last one in that link is mine, and I think it is closer to buckskin than sante fe, maybe in the middle.
