    There are special "paints" that can be peeled off if desired. One brand is "Dip my Car" or something like that. Most auto parts stores will carry this temporary paint. Try some in white, or whatever color catches your eye.

    Black seems fitting.

    On a restored machine I prefer white, I guess. On a "working Jeep" either looks fine.

    Are you planning to paint the Jeep? The way it is now, I think white or black would work fine. Certainly body colors would have me lean one way or another with wheel color.

    The white spoke wheels somehow suggest white patent leather loafers and pastel leisure suits ... just to me though.

    Back in the mid-'70s, white wagon wheels were what everyone was installing on their Jeeps. To be period correct (if that matters!) white is the correct color.

    Although I will say each Jeep has its own personality. So it’s a case by case determination....

    I think that I am going to try the white on my spare and see how I like it.
