Pete,
I like the black ones too. I've considereed painting my silvers to black
several times but there is always something else to do. Beyond that, I do have
a good match for the silver on the rims(and centers). Its called Cast Aluminum
DE1650(I think) by Duplicolor. Its high temperature paint and cost about $2 at
Walmart. I've not yet seen a real TR6 with the black so I've not idea what the
'match' would be but then again, black is black. IMHO I'd go gloss black.
