If my car had rallyes, should I repaint the rear drums in red?

I thought only road wheels got paint. You cant see the drum on a rally wheel?

Yes, you can see the drums with Rallye wheels. Especially with the red paint. If it had plain steel wheels they were left bare metal.

But the factory drawings I have seen you only paint the front of the drum not the whole thing. You dont see that part of the drum with rallyes

My car had Rallies new and the drums still have some red on them, even if it was just the front. I just looked at mine and you can see the front of the drum through the holes.
