1960 Biarritz wheel color

I am ready to paint the wheels on my '60 Biarritz. I noted on various on-line images of my model that sometimes the wheel color is body color and sometimes it is black. Since the hubcap covers almost all of the wheel anyway, is this a 'biggie' for an original car? I have an opportunity to get the wheels power coated economically, but my champagne (code 97) is not easily (nor economically) done in powder. Black would be a snap.

As I being too picky, or might this be an issue on an otherwise original car?

Thanks  Whit
