Hi,

I have a Coral pink EK with pink wheels,( which look like they have been that colour for a very long time )..

were the rims originally white when they left the factory ?
I have looked at numerous old photos and can't determine . Advice appreciated

Cheers

Is it a special or standard ? From what I have been led to believe, the rims are the roof colour , so if its a special with a white roof it will have white rims , if its a standard therefore single tone it will have body coloured rims.

There are exceptions, I looked at a very original EK the other day that is grey with a red roof and the rims are grey.

It is a special with darker pink roof , Barrier coral I think ,

wheels are light pink as the body .
Based on your comments this is probably as it was .

Thanks
