I am building a big block, bench seat, rubber mat car and I am putting steel wheels on it with dog dish caps. I want them to be painted correctly. The outside of the wheel will be body color. My question is what color should the inside of the wheel be? Should they be body color or black? Should the body color overspray blow through to the black on the inside?

Yes they should be black on the backside and have the body color over spray. What color is your car because they also look great black on a lighter color car.

Just like Frost Green, you could go either way but black wheels might look better...
Here is a picture of mine with black wheels, it might not be correct, but I think it looks cool.

43 Citrus Green is nice. I didnt like it back in the day, but I like it now.
