Gene,
   My 1255  Oliver has/had bright white wheels and that is original.... but it is red, not green. ( I figure it was painted on April 1st  <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> ). I posted pictures of it on this site . Do you have 4 wheel drive?  Don't be too quick to write it off, it isn't as common as the 70's , 77's 66's , etc. It is small enough to take to shows easily too.
                             Cal
