Default Ws6 re-clear or powdercoat black

I'm stuck on this one, i'm either going to reclear them or send them to get powdercoated black. They will be going on a black 98 formula. They're the early ws6 wheels. Watcha think

dont re clear them because you can polish them yourself (after clear is stripped of course).
black would look good but i prefer shiny wheels over black wheels on black cars, just an opinion though.

I have never liked the black wheels on a black car, maybe because a lot of ricers around here do it with steel wheels. I think chrome/polished would look better.

Chrome.

But I am biased, since I have chrome ws6 wheels on my ws6, vs the original clear coated polished ones that came on the car stock.

Hmm, might just leave them as is. I have the ws6 hood as well and thought it would look cool all black with the black wheels. I want to change the centercaps to something else so people don't confuse it for a ws6

FYI, there's at least 7 different black powdercoat finishes you can choose from.

I'm going to paint them black, just bought the base and clear for them. If I don't like them black I could easily remove the paint and If I really like them I'll send them off in a couple of months. I'll post pics when I finish shooting them. I'm hoping to get this done in the next week.
