Arco Colt original wheel color?

#1
Hi everyone, been a member for quite a while now, mostly daydreaming about replacing the bike of my youth. (more on that later) I picked up an Arco Colt and have begun work on it recently. The paint was original so i figured the wheel color was as well. So they were recoated in a silver color. Anyone know for sure if that is correct, or were they possibly white? Here is the roller you folks helped me identify. arco key.JPG arco rear shocks.JPG model plate.JPG arco frame.JPG

Great! Thanks for the response. I have read many of your post and I'm sure you are correct. I hope to complete this project soon and get on with finding a Mini Mate or Ruttman Judge like I had as a kid. I welcome any referrals and may have many cool things to trade as well!

I am originally from Detroit, and grew up 5 miles from Allied Leisure. Had them all, but actually raced my Mini Mate at Eagle Park back then. There is a member of OldMiniBikes that has a Mini Mate to die for! If it comes up for sale, I want it!
