I have a nice set of 18" hollow spokes off a 01 turbo. Wheels were painted black, but weren't done well. For resale purposes. Do you think I'm better off painting them the original silver? or should I go with a dark grey? similar to a 05 turbo S color

You sure the wheels are hollow spokes? The early MY Turbos came with solid spokes IIRC. Hollow spokes showed up a year or so after the first MY. Unless you are a professional painter my advice is to leave them alone sell them as is or have them refinished by a quality wheel shop. Be aware that there is some risk. When my Turbo was in for some body work -- hit a mule deer -- and the passenger side front wheel was sent out to be refinished the wheel shop ruined the wheel and had to buy me a new one.
They are hollow spoke for sure. I'm going to have them redone at tru wheel.
We have refinished many of these wheels, so here are some ideas for you... you can always opt for the standard OEM finish. www.wheeldynamics.com (click on the refinishing tab)
paint vs powdercoat... always a question...
My 2 cents: sell AS-IS and price accordingly. Best of luck.
Let's have some fun first ? Get some quotes from local Powder-Coaters who do lots of wheels and see what the alternatives are ? In Los Angeles, try Triple A Coating in El Monte.
I have a nice set of Sport Techno 18's on my C4S...apparently people rave about them but the styling in not for me. I would love to trade them for a set of true hollowspokes, with or without a crappy paint job! I'm near San Fransico if this sounds appealing This picture is not mine, it's borrowed from a rennlist post
