The Brooklin 1942 Olds has the red wheels and looks great. Unfortunately I can't post the pics.

As you will see, the chrome strips do not have red inserts after all.
These were proposed but a number of people contacted the factory to say they shouldn't be there, so they have been left as plain chrome.

Good decision by Brooklin.
If the red was shown to be incorrect, excellent move. And I feel sure that the esteemed assembly staff is not disappointed. But for those who wish to add red inserts to give a little more pizzaz, thin tape stripe is easy to apply.

I actually posted a message a few weeks ago after the first pics of the model were shown. I couldn't find any images of the Olds with red inserts so I'm happy that Brooklin made the change. Nice to know that companies still listen!
