Restoring Wheels, stay charcoal, or go black?
Now the car is tucked away for the winter, Ive decided I am going to restore/polish the wheels. At first I was planning on doing black, but after a search it looks like the charcoal wheels are some what sought after. I'm also debating on whether or not to sell them, and buy some 2002 WS6 wheels. What do you guys think? How much could I sell the wheels for if I did? Also, Ive got 2 extra wheels with my drag radials on them, 1 is the early style, the other late, would anyone want to trade their a late style for an early? And one more thing, could someone photoshop some 2002 WS6 wheels on:

Personally, I like the crosslace charcoal wheels. I think black centers hides the whole good part fo the wheels, the crosslace. Th charcoal color brings the centers out, while leaving the shiny rim part at its best too. Whn they are black in the center, all I ever see is the shiny rim which looks funny in my opinion

ok , first off , the rims looks pretty good for stock rims, you should keep them and lower the car eibach sportline springs. Then you shoud "if you decide to keep them" have them widened to 9 or 9.5 . THen you would have stock appearing rims but wider. saaaaweeeeet .

i plan on installing either a pro kit or hotchkis springs this winter, so that would make it look a little better. the tires on there are 45s and there is WAY too much gap, i hate it.
youve all swayed me to charcoal, now wheres a good place to get the exact color they were from the factory, 18P Charcoal Metallic? they look good from a distance, but that picture is almost about a year old and the clear coat on the back has gotten real bad, and the front is ok. the main reason im doing it is because ive got no money and all the time, so im going to do what i can for cheap
