Nice lookin grill Mac!  I personally would leave the wheels like you have it.  I myself don't like the black wheels.

Thanks Jeff. Kind of a toss up for me. My Silver has black wheels and i like it, but then again, I never put the white ones on there so I don't know what it would look like, I may like that too...lol...

What wheels are all black?  Even the wheels I have that look all black have old remnants of a white wall on them.  The wheels on my yellow grill that are currently all black had white on them at one time.  Plus the white that was on them came off with goo gone.  I think the white just wore off real easy.  Was there ever all black wheels?  Have we seen them in a catalog?  None of the catalogs I have show any all black wheels.  That doesn't mean they didn't exist I just have neve seen them myself...

Hey Brian, as far as I know, the Bar B Kettles had just plain blackwall  wheels, at least according to the schematic and what is on my Silver. I called Weber C.S. for replacements for my Silver and they sent blackwall. I will post a pic.

I have seen lots of craigslist ads with some older kettles...say from the mid to late 70's and even through the 90's that have blackwalls.  My company has an black 3 wheeler with wood handles that is packed away and it has blackwalls.  I think its an early 90s grill.
