Same as the GTO’s.
There were just a select few body colors (3-4) that would have been painted onto the wheels, only with the “Standard” hubcap (dog dish).
Not all body colors were used. Example, a Red car would receive black wheels, not Red with the Standard cap.
If the GTO was optioned with full wheel disc, then the wheel was painted black like the Chevelles.
First three photos,
My ‘65 GTO with wire wheel disc on black painted wheels.
You can only see the black paint outer lip with the full cover.
The entire wheel, front and backside is black.
My buddy Grant which has a Signet Gold ‘67 GTO with the Standard hub cap has a different gold on the wheels. They are painted Seneca Bronze.
All the wheels begin as full black. The “secondary color” for Standard cap cars were sprayed only on the front.
You can see some Seneca Bronze bleed through on the last photo.
