Hey guys I finally got my ford gt bbs 18x9 wheels installed along with the stoptech brakes. I love the set-up, I was originally planning on powercoating the wheels a satin or flat black, but didn't get the chance. Should I leave the wheels as is, or do you think I should powdercoat them black like the Stillen Ford GT? Thanks, the brakes make the wheels really dirty, so I'm leaning towards black for that and some contrast to the brakes.

Thanks guys
Fitz

 

Im thinkin black man

 

Leave them like they are- in my opinion 9 times outta 10, black wheels look bad. Your car looks good as is.

 

Does this help? Both look good in my opinion but you can't go wrong with Black on Black

Lokius,

Do what you think is cool, but since u asked........I think the black looks a little to european or something....just looks foreign to me. I think the silver looks much better. Something about the black is sorta cool, but I would definately stay with silver.

 

Hyper-Silver or chrome ....

 

IMO, they look better in silver. Good brake/wheel combo. Just for the heck of it, wondering how a gunmetal or titanium finish would look...

 

No Black! Paint The Calipers Red! BTMO!

 

black on black looks sick!!
I like it, kind of a mad max car.
a lot more agressive than silver.
I dont even like chorme for my white gt, I would go with black, or a very dark grey.
again, black on black looks incredible for me..and red calipers..

 

Look's good now. Black would look good to

 

Leave silver, the contrast looks very good. I think wheels should contrast the body color, not blend with it. I think a chrome finish will really bring out the contrast, and I agree with a calipler color...red!

 

first, get ceramic brake pads to keep the wheels clean
and get black but first take a pic with clean and shined tires so I can see

are those 17s they look really small there

 

I'm very interested in either black or red calipers, I spoke with stoptech about it. If I leave the wheels silver, a diffferent caliper color for sure. By the way thanks for parts Kevin! The bbs valve stem/cap worked out great!

I have Axxis ceramic brake pads on right now, all of those pictures were after a run up Palomar Mountain with about 10 nsx's, let's just say the brakes got extra dusty that day.

They look tiny because I'm not lowered at all and I went with 255/45/18 tires all around, so there is a bit of sidewall. The wheels are 18x9 all around, and for some reason they look smaller in the back

Here's another picture, it was taken before I installed the front brakes. I'm getting a speed grille installed tomorrow, and afterwards I'll detail the car and take some more shots. I'm really torn on this, because I didn't think I would like the silver as much as I do. I mean I really like it, but I've wanted these wheels in black on the car since I decided to get a black mustang. Oh choices!!

 

Very nice! Silver looks great.

 

+1. Must be an Oklahoma thing.

 

I like it Silver.

Lay down some Zaino Z-16 on those tires and drop it. It'll look 10x better!

 

Silver is better than black IMO but I'm thinking a bronze color might look nicer yet.

 

Or how about gold? black/gold was always a good color combo...

 

Born and raised until 4 years ago. Must be why I said they both look good

 

Take it from another Black stang owner silver looks good. Black would look.
