I recently purchased some 16X6 Fuchs wheels from Wheel Enhancement for my 1970 914-6.
I asked for the stock paint style so I retain the same look for the car.
The style I was expecting has the black paint come all the up to the outer rim just leaving a little strip of silver and then the rim lip is silver like in this picture.

The style I received is like this picture with a lot more silver.
[IMG]What I received was another style of stock paint for a later model period I think.[/IMG]
When did these two styles exist and are they interchangable?
I kinda like the blacker one but could get used to the silverer one too.
I just wanted to clarify because I think I was sent the wrong style or does it matter. I am used to seeing the blacker version because that is what was on my car originally.
