    Were black Fuchs an option in '72?

    I've recently obtained some Fuchs wheels for the later long hood years. Some are all black faced and some have the standard polished look with the black backgrounds. I've only ever seen an option for Fuchs wheels themselves but never an option for Fuchs as all black or polished. Were these wheels painted all black over the years? They are stamped as 1972's 6"x15" 020 00

    Thanks

    No black centers for 72...none I have ever seen verified. Usually much later...MY75 or late 74?.
    Technically, one could have ordered color to match, but I have never seen one verified.
    For the 73 RS the black may have been possible, but I have never seen that verified also.
    Polished wheels were also not an option. They are on some show cars and catalogue cars but the production wheels required the corrosion protection of the anodize.
    The first unpainted wheel (that would be the parts replacement) that showed up in the parts book was for the 73RS (for Red, Green, Blue).
