Ok , I am climbing on my soap box again for a minute,
     If you are running open wheels with just hubcaps , the wheels should be silver to be correct. The only reason they are black is to add contrast to the silver caps that were over the top of them
     Look at any new car  that is not a 100k tuner ,they all run a silver wheel or cap.
    It may just be a pet peeve , but it just looks gangster or hoody to me.

See if that doesn't buy you a lot of miles. When I have made it home at three in the morning nursing a horribly rattling joint, the offending clearances upon inspection were mere thousandths though it sounded like it was going to explode. Drive on.
