Charcoal RTR wheels on a Kona Blue (without the RTR package stripes)?

I have a dilemma in that if I ever swap out the BBP wheels (which I love) it will be for RTRs and unfortunately for me, I am a huge sucker for dark wheels but these don't seem like a good choice for our dark blue cars!

The RTR package (with the Charcoal RTR wheels...see below!) on Kona Blue looks amazing...but those light blue stripes may be the thing that holds the look together.

Has anyone with a "regular" Kona Mustang run the charcoal wheels yet? If so are you happy with them?

Id like to see too, I love dark wheels as well but I really love the BBP wheels. I wish the black track pack wheels came in 9.5 or staggered 9 10, if they did I would definitely buy them.

I think it'll look great. If anything, I think the light blue stripes take away from the overall look of the car.

Hey Mike...what have you heard, read or seen regarding the offset? I'm thinking of getting the RTRs in Hyper Silver, but there is a lot of talk of the offset being a little off...Have you seen these wheels in person?

Personally, I didn't care for the offset. I think the FRPP wheels or the F14s would be a better fit. I would spend the money on those before buying the RTRs.

Those are the two I'm torn between, frpp svt wheels or f14. I actually wish they just made a 10 inch version of the brembo wheel because I absolutely love them but unfortunately they don't I know weldcraft can widen them but then I have to get two wheels to put on while they are there since this is my only car and pay for the widening and repowder-coating and at that point I would've paid for a new set altogether.

Lou- I have the silver RTR's on my Kona. I have some pics in my garage section with them from various angles if you want to check them out. They're currently off the car. I need to get one repaired and I'm seriously considering getting them chromed or selling them for the Roush wheels.

How about something a bit lighter than the RTR's? In three different lighting conditions:

I like the BBP wheels a lot but I wouldn't bother having them widened. I was also looking at the SVT PP and Forgestar F14's. I went to the Forgestar offices in OC and checked out the wheels in person. They look fantastic and have more concave to them than the SVT wheels. While not identical looking they look close enough that looks really didn't factor into my decision. The two things that sealed the deal was the OEM quality of the SVT wheels and not having to use centering rings.
