To my knowledge, NONE of the '55/56 Ford cars had black rims unless the base color of the car was black. Thus a blk/wht/blk two-tome car would have black rims, regardless of whether it was to be dressed with 10" hub caps or full wheel-covers.
The wheel dressing was not the determining factor then. It was what the base color of the car was.
I never saw a black 52 thru 56 Ford car wheel in the wheel pile at the junkyards back in the '70's. They were all aquatone blue, buckskin brown, seasprite green, etc. Never any black, not that there couldn't have been, but they were fewer compared to other colors in the first place.
