Steel wheel, body color or if you have mag wheels on it, black.
Objects quickly DISAPPEAR in the rearview mirror and PLEASE stay seated until the ride comes to a complete stop!!

Well thanks, that's what I thought but.....about 17 yrs ago when I painted the car and did some detailing I threw a quick rattle can black paint job on the spare and called it done. Now I want to make it perfect so I bought a new tire for the spare and thought I would redo the wheel. After stripping off my black paint I can find no trace of any color on that wheel other than a factory, flat silver paint . From what I can tell it is the original wheel:14x5 electrofuse steel wheel,pre 1968 with the following markings 14k 5 757. I dunno.
