      Leave them. If you don't like them after a while, gunmetal centers, not a big fan of black.

                Your car isn't going to look so much better. I can't wait to see them on it. Leave them by the way.

                Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

                  Leave them alone, there are certain wheels that look alright with blacked centers (i.e. basketweaves, etc.) These look much better in their original finish.

                  At least wait until the clear coat starts peeling to do something to the finish.

                      Leave them like that.

                      Your car is too dark to pull off a dark wheel well IMO.

                              Yeah, but reassembling them has to be done correctly (the seals, the proper amount of torque for each bolt, etc.) I'm not even sure who/where you could find that information from.
