OK, well congrats to everyone in this thread in getting me out from under that rock! John Bond (my boss at the time and YES, the son of John Bond Sr. who started ROAD & TRACK Magazine) was driving around a white 1989 CSX Styling Vehicle with a set of "factory" fiberides that were also white. The 225/50/15 Gatorbacks were only about 6 months old and in great shape. For "whatever" reason, someone decided to remove them from that vehicle. After sitting around the shop for about 3 weeks, I called my friend Tim Hoover and demanded is credit card info. I told him to "Trust" me and that I was going to charge about $500.00 on his card. I told him he would be happy "when" the package arrived. He was!
There were about 10 to 20 "factory" white fiberides produced from Motorwheel for various projects around the country. There was NO Chrysler Part Number ever issued for White Fiberide wheels. The majority of white fiberides that I have seen, were painted by someone other than Motorwheel. BTW: That wheel won the Most Innovative Use of Plastics Award in 1988. Another tidbit of info is: The typical Alloy Wheel has to survive a destruction test of 1 million cycles to be approved. Since, Shelby was the first to use a composite wheel, we set the standard at 4 million cycles. The one thing you never want to do to a fiberide wheel is....PAINT the Lug Nut Seat!
