Any pics of Shelby Redline's in SILVER?

Hi everyone.. does anyone have or seen pics of the Shelby Redline wheels in Silver? I debating between those or the gun metal and if I could see the rims maybe it would help me decide.

Heres my car..

I suppose you already saw the steal of a deal that was posted for sale here on 20" Gunmetal Redlines with tires right? It may sway your decision ...

Here you go ... if they were black I would have already bought them. I really need black for my 2006 Screaming Yellow ...

I thought they only come in CHROME, GUN METAL or BLACK - and those are neither chrome nor black. I'm set on getting a black set ... The cheapest I can find for 18" Black with Tires is $1340 shipped. The 20" with tires in the link above is quite the deal for sure ...

I mocked up the gun metal ones and didn't like it .. ... but here is my mock up in Black ... the Black look better on Yellow ...

Are the Black Bullitts on your car 18"

Ok heres 2 pics of the Silver and gun metal. You'll notice the pic for gun metal is pretty dark. However those rims that are being sold say they are gun metal too but they dont look like these.. this is what Im afraid of.. I dont want rims that are very dark cause for that I'll just keep the Black Bullitts I have now...

I have been looking at these wheels as well and i believe that you will be safe with the gunmetal. Other than that pic you posted i have never seen the gunmetal that dark on pictures with them installed. If you want a point of reference i am sure it will be easier to find multiple pics of the two colors on the razors.

Here is a pic of my ride with GUNMETAL/ANTHRACITE Shelby Redlines, I hope this helps. The wheels match my side stripes almost perfectly, so this should give you some indication on the color.

Also, I believe they stopped making the silver wheels and you couldn't get the rear in 20x10 either. I wanted silver in the beginning as well, but glad I got the gunmetal/anthracite wheels.

Torrence, I love your car.. actually looking at yours and Redfire is what got me interested in these in the 1st place! Now Im wondering if maybe the reason the silver ones are pretty cheap is because they arent being produced anymore. Now both of you have 20's. did you notice a drop in stopping power witht he stock brakes?? (Im assuming u have stock breaks)

Same here! the second i saw torrence's car (this is the first ive seen of redfires but its awesome as well) i loved these wheels. I used to love the razors and i still do but it seems half the cars on here have razors on them. I think i am looking for 18 inch( for the sidewall protection) silver rims for my vista v6 but am still undecided like you superman between the gunmetal and silver. Although i agree twenties look incredible.

Thanks guys.... Do 20's and don't look back. All the Redlines I have seen in 18's look a little weird. I had to ditch my stock brakes, with the addition of my WHIPPLE, as I couldn't stop the car lol...lol... Pictures do these rims no JUSTICE. The gunmetal/anthracite are the way to go. I wouldn't mess with rims that they don't make anymore, for instance if something happens to those rims, your _ _ it out of luck getting replacements....
