60 wheel color, painted before tires or after??

[William B.]

I am getting my 60 big brake wheels ready, I understand they were dipped in black and that the fronts were painted body color. Question is were they painted body color before the tires were mounted or were they painted after the tires were mounted?
I believe the fronts were painted body color 1st and then tires were mounted, but I could be wrong?

William -

The wheels were painted long before the tires were mounted.
