Default Anyone have photos of a Washington Blue Roadster or other body style w/black wheels?

I know this will sound like a weird question, but....
I just bought a 1931 Deluxe roadster. Like most deluxe roadsters it is painted Washington Blue with cream wheels and whitewalls. I really dislike colored wheels and/or whitewalls on Model As, so I am seriously debating about painting the wheels black and installing black wall tires. Although this car is really nice, it is going to be just a driver and certainly not a show car so correctness is not an issue. Just wondering if anyone had any photos of a roadster, or any other body style 30-31, that is painted Washington Blue with black wheels so I can get an idea of what this combination might look like?
Thanks in advance. I appreciate it!
PS- Did any 30-31 deluxe roadsters originally come from the factory in Washington Blue with black wheels?

As far as I know Gary is correct. I believe 30/31 Deluxe models came with colored wheels. Tacoma Cream wheels on Washington blue vehicles.
I too seem to prefer black wheels and tires with nice shiny covers and nuts.

Ford Barner "JB-OB" told me about this Deluxe Phaeton in Washington Blue with black wheels and tires that is for sale and was on a Dragone Classic Cars website. I really like this combination! Thanks.

They were never offered with black wheels so I didn't spend the 15 hours it would have taken to picture them!!! At least he can see them with black tires. :-)
