I'm going to be picking up a set of 2.0L fuchs for my '74, and had questions about the different ways that they were finished originally. I think I have seen them in the following finishes:

- polished all over
- "spokes" polished, other areas silver, polished lip
- "spokes" polished, other areas black, polished lip
- silver all over

questions:
Which of these were the wheels originally available in?
I prefer the look of the black w/ polished spokes and lip, would refinishing the wheels in this way be considered bad, or lower their value?

Thanks!

They only came one way from the factory; petals and lip were polished, and the remainder was frosted slightly. Clear anodized, never painted.
