Opinions on wheel color choice.

In an effort to get the MKVIII to look the way I would like it, I have moved a set of wheels over from my Mustang to the Lincoln. They are close to the S197 offset (35mm front on an 8.5" deep wheel and 45mm on a 10" deep rear wheel) and I want to use them (being I am selling the Mustang the wheels were meant for (the wheels are 18"x 8.5" fronts and 18"x 10" rears).

Now, car (97 MKVIII Base) is Gloss Black with the trim getting blacked out (ala LSC). Leaving the chrome surround on the side windows as the only shiny on the car (ok, wheel lips and exhaust tips too). Darker tinted windows, and the headlights/tail lights will be smoked. Hood vent will be Trim Black. Car will be lowered roughly 1"-1.5" with Cobra front brakes (as it is getting hub swapped once I get tires on the rims).

Questions I have regarding the finish (this is where your opinion will help me, as I have a good idea of which way I want to go).

1) Center design of the wheel powdercoated Gloss Black, Satin Black, or Flat Black?

2) Chrome or Gloss Black lug nuts?

3) Keep the 'spinner' (not likely) or have some center caps made with the 'LincolnStar' emblem in Chrome on one of the three black sheen finishes?

Thanks for your input guys. I am pretty close to what I want to do, but would still like/weigh your opinions on the overall finish (lips will remain Chromed).
