 <\/p>\n

The general understanding is that the Aurelia wheels (like all Lancia wheels) were cream-colored in the center, and the outer part of the wheel was body-colored. \u00a0Different versions and opinions exist on the cream color paint – several are listed here – if you search under “wheel” in the blog. There are different formulas and paint samples, varying by\u00a0country, so hopefully you can find a paint color for your car.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Not all Aurelia images show cream color centers for their wheels. A\u00a0trip through the history reveals some variations, so here we go….<\/div>\n

1. \u00a0This is the B10 in the original promo photo by Moisio (the factory photographer). Seems like dark rims, with\u00a0cream used for the centers. All is OK.\u00a0

2. Same idea \u00a0in this B22 promo shot –\u00a0dark rims and cream colored interior sections.<\/div>\n

3. This is a shot of a B10 wheel at the car’s introduction in 1950 at Bolzano. Two color, like above, but doesn’t look like\u00a0cream in the center, but it could be…<\/div>\n

4. \u00a0An s.1 B20,\u00a0from the\u00a0homologation papers, has dark wheels. They\u00a0seem lighter than body color.<\/div>\n

5. Here is a\u00a0\u00a0B15 at 1952 Salone has dark wheels, possibly with cream centers, and\u00a0different wheels.<\/div>\n

6. Promotional literature for the s.3 B20\u00a0features\u00a0dark rims and chrome beauty rings, no cream. But its just an illustration…<\/div>\n

9. Perhaps the definitive\u00a0view\u00a0in color: a rare color photo of the 1952 Corsa at Le Mans. This has cream centers and body colored outer rims (the full image is in the book!).<\/div>\n
