Default Fuchs - Lime Green or Black centers????

I'm starting my 74 911 project. First work of order is to get it running, then touch up some paint work, and throw on a ducktail. I'm searching for a few other items right now including a set of 15 x 7 and 15 x 8 fuchs and dumping the cookie cutters.

Question is: Paint the centers to match the car (Lime Green) or stick with black centers?

Here's a vote for polished rims/petals and black insets.

Is it a Carrera or just a 911? Have you considered other colors?

Where did you find a 1974 lime green car in St. Pete? It's not the white one that was across the street was it?

I like ruby's new shoes - they seem to "fit" the look

It's been in a garage for the past 20 years or so...you wouldn't have seen it. Hank, the owner of Coney Island, was owner #2 of this FL only car. He never really enjoyed the car so it sat. He finally decided to sell and that's when my 968 went up for sale. He was my dad's landlord when my dad started his business. I've known and wanted this car since I was a little guy.

I appreciate the pollished petal look but it's option 3. The plan has always been to go with black but I've been thinking about this green concept. Do we have any good photoshop-ers here? I'm not sure if this is the exact color, but it's close. Can somebody put some lime green fuchs on this 911?
