Re: cream wheels blackwall tires
I don't have them on the truck yet but here's what they look like:
 They are Wheel Vintiques Smoothies and are 16"X7". I've got 5 since I'm putting the spare on the side. The paint is Summit SS urethane in Wimbledon White.   I was happy with this inexpensive paint. It's got a real nice gloss:

Re: cream wheels blackwall tires
Those wheels look really nice! What prep did you do prior to painting? Did they come with the powder primer? Paint the inside black?

Here's one just taken out of the box to do a trial fit over my CPP disc brakes. (The front axle is removed and laying on top of the frame.)    I bought 16" rims for a couple of reasons. One was that I wanted to make sure I wouldn't have any issue clearing the brake calipers. The other was that there is a many more tire choices in 16" than there is 15". I bought 5 Bridgestone Dueler Alenza Plus in 235/70R-16. They had very good ratings and were available in blackwalls. I sprayed a couple of coats of black SPI primer on the backs and insides. The next day I flipped them over and sprayed the outsides of the rims with a single reduced coat of white SPI epoxy and followed up with 2 coats of the Wimbledon White SS after waiting an hour. I did reduce the Summit urethane just a little with slow reducer to make sure I got it down flat with a good gloss. I used my Iwata LPH-101 spray gun with a sidewinder cup.
