Opinion on wheels please
I have a euro 1975 Carrera (2.7 RS MFI) and have a set of 8 & 9 x15 fuchs that I am sending out to Al Reed to be refinished.My question is should I have them grey coated (or ?) or properly painted red to match the factory red graphics on my car? I still have the original color matched 7s & 8s that came on it as well as another set of 7s & 8s with the black finish that can be made red too.My instinct tells me to have them done color matched but I can easily be swayed if the board feels otherwise(My car is black).Thanks guys

IMHO, black looks best, but the black polished looks great too.
But we need to see pictures of the car.

I'm a traditionalist. Wish I owned a real one!

Any comments on painting the centers of 16' fuchs red on a white 1978 911 sc. The wheels need refinished and I am debating on white, black, or red whcih also looks good.
