I want to upgrade to deep dish bullitt wheels. Problem is I am torn between chrome and black. My wife thinks I should stick with anthricite. I actually like how all three look, but unfortunately I can't afford three sets and change them depending on mood. I tried photoshopping them in a picture of my car, but the chops looked bad! The chrome wheels never looked natural to give me a fair representation. Any one seen satin silver with these options have an opinion? Here is a picture of my car if anyone with better photoshopping skills wants to tackle chrome wheels.

If you're going to be adding black stripes or a blackout panel for the rear, I'd go with a black rim or something that's not chrome.

I may be an old fart, but I like the look of the anthricite wheels. Nice and subdued to go with your silver paint. I think chrome would be a bit too much bling. But, you know, black would also compliment your paint, too. Either way, try ditching the stock Ford center caps for the black tri-color Pony caps. They are well worth it and dress up the wheels nicely without going to far. Opinions anyone?

Can't go wrong with Anthricite. Very classy. Wish I had a set...

I agree with Mike... The nice thing about satin silver is any color choice will look good... I'm glad to see you are looking for a deep dish... IMO that's the way to go... I know mine aren't bullits, but here's a pic of the deep dish I have...

Black wheels with a brushed aluminum lip always look great on silver cars. I've already shown these in another thread but here they are again.

I would have gone with the black wheels on my red car but thought it would clash with my tan interior.

Have you looked at the Halibrand Cobra III Wheels in 18X9 with a 43mm offset. They come in MagCoat finish witch is dark gray. They might look good also.



I know it's a PhotChop Job but it gives you the idea.

No issues at all. There are a few of us here on the site that have them. The offset is a perfect fit for our cars. They are reasonably priced as well. The black ones would look really good on your car... IMO.

I bought them off the net and had my body shop paint them.

Thanks for compliments.
