Simple question, were the factory T.51s in 1959 fitted with black wheels or dark green ones?

Were they not just raw chromated magnisium? A sort of dull browny grey.

More the latter than the former - essentially in model form a matt black. But there was NO conscious standard in period - wheels was wheels. And cracks was cracks. But - unlike some other manufacturers - Cooper wheels seldom posed a problem.
