So from what I can see, these wheels came Black originally.
I've never claimed to be an expert on the GMCs from the '60s, but I have seen hundreds of them over the years since my Dad bought the one ton Suburban in 1965. I've never seen one with green wheels, only black or white. The one ton Suburban came from the factory with white 17" wheels.
