Yes, SB, flat black. I bought mine over the counter at the parts department.
I will take a couple of pictures of them for the record and post them here for you.

I'm on the road at the moment and will have to dig them out when I get home.

Glennster,
My wheels are the original 14's. The masking patterns came from Year One but for me they were a poor fit. I just used blue painters tape and an exacto knife. The paint is Eastwood Satin black wheel paint pt# 1294Z. It's an acrylic lacquer. The self etching primer is Pt# 16014Z. One can of paint was enough to do 2 coats on 5 wheels and there is still some left. I masked the chrome and sandblasted the entire rim. Then I polished the chrome and steam cleaned them. I remasked, then shot the inside and back side of the rims with regular Krylon black primer and satin black. I primered 2 coats, and painted 2 coats on the front with the Eastwood paint. The color and texture I think are perfect. Unfortunately I do not have a clue how to post a picture and do not have time to research and learn how to do it.

Sweet tires!!!!!!!!!!!!
My car came with old BFG's, they were like new, still had the nubs on them. They were on the car sitting in one spot for 10 years!!!!! They were flat spotted big time. When I drove it with those tires, it was like being on one of those vibrating beds. I checked the date code, the tires were built in 1981. I put a new set of BFG's on her, she drives smooooth.........................

I was all ready to buy semi gloss for my little 14'' 5 spoke wheels, looks like I need flat black.........................

Nice tires, Slotts!  :thumbsup: 

Last time I saw a set of those they were using them on a jungle gym!  At my old elementary school, they used to have a big "webbing" made up of old tires, about I guess 15-20 tires.  I bet there were some cool tires used to make it!  :grinyes:
