Thanks for the input thus far. The wheels came with color center caps, but they need some TLC. I have colored center caps on my current 17" twists that are also looking pretty faded. We'll see what the restoration cost will be for them...

JD - Regarding your single color recommendations, other than stock silver and gloss black do you have some specific colors in mind that would work well paired with the Arctic Silver?

Thanks!

(P.S. For the record there is no way I'd consider chrome.)

I love those wheels and would like to have a set too.

How about a darker shade of gray/silver like the wheels that are on the Anniversary model?

Do a google search for gunmetal wheels. You'll find numerous images of silver vehicles with that wheel combination .

I've been thinking about it some more. The black hides the wheels too much and I am not wild about the gunmetal look with the lighter silver car. I think I am staying with the stock finish after all.

Boring, I know but I think it works best.
