[SS427]

Well to add to this argument, I was hired yesterday to inspect an unknown LS6 that until recently that has been hiding in the original owners garage since the 80's. It still resides in the original family's ownership and is now undergoing a full frame off restoration. It was an amazing car with a TON of paperwork.

At any rate, the original spare had never been on the ground until recently and the 4 other rims were original to the car. Upon inspecting them I found that of the five 2 were black and 3 were dark charcoal grey. Take it for what it was worth as the 4 main wheels all had varying degrees of weathering but all had only been on the car for about a year when a full set of slots were put on the car.

However, the spare was virgin and was definitely a dark charcoal grey. I had a hard time capturing the color in the photo but trust me, that is what I found. The first photo is the spare and dated 1/26. The second photo is the spare overall. The third is one the 2 black wheels and it was dated 1/30. Though the full size photo of the spare may look black in the photo, it was indeed a very dark Charcoal Grey. I still live by, never say never.
