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.

Sam where are the photos?

I did add the Silverhorse Honeycomb panel.

Scott, any issues with the ROH Drift R's fitting?

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.
