Post CT-R wheels

I'm pretty close to ordering these off ebay, not sure which finish to go with. Leaning towards anthracite or chrome. Please post em! Getting rid of my TSW's, and I need something new. What do you guys think would be the best finish? Anthracite, Chrome, or Black.

I'd go with the anthracite color. Would look SICK with your car.

I sure like anthracite but chrome sure looks good on Vista Blue.What color is your car? That would help in the decision making process.

I'm considering these, too. I just wish they were a little lighter in weight. Here's a thread with some pics on page 5:

How much are these going for on Ebay? I remember a bit ago they had a set of 4 anthracite 18X9's for $550 shipped but it looks like it's a bit more now on CTRwheels.com.

I checked the prices on ctrwheels.com and they're quite a bit more than the ones on eBay. The anthracite and black are going for 599$ and shipping for buy it now, and the chrome ones are going for 850$ I believe plus shipping. Not bad for a set of staggered wheels I'd say.

Have you looked at the GT4 wheels from American Muscle? They are essentially the same style wheels as the CT-R wheels. Here is a link to the American Muscle's main page for these wheels:

http://www.americanmuscle.com/gt4-wheels.html

They sell 'em for $174.99 each (with no shipping charges), so a set of four comes to $699.96.

Of course, if money is no object, you could just go ahead and get the Ford Racing Ford GT wheels.

I noticed that the wheels from CTR are not the same wheels as the ones from American Muscle, while they are both 18x9 , the center of CTR wheel is set a little bit deeper into the rim, making the ones from American Muscle look almost flush. I'd rather go with the CTR wheels myself , even if they're same width ,they look a lil bit wider and plus they also come in 18x10

Anymore pics? I'm considering these versus the factory fanblades. 26 lbs for the 18x9's and Tirerack lists the fanblades (18x8.5's) at 26.5. I wish I could afford the Wesport wheels on Tirerack which are 18 lbs!
