Default Black or Charcoal metallic TT2s?

Hey guys, i'm having a hard time deciding between whether I want to powdercoat my TT2s black, or charcoal metallic (like the BlackBird). I was decided on the charcoal metallic, but the black looks really good too. So what do you guys think would look best on a 2001 black/black WS6? Thanks for your opinions! There is a pic of each choice on my cardomain site page by clicking the link below, I hope the owners don't mind me using them. Thanks again!

tough call, either looks badass on a black T/A, but I guess I'll go with charcoal + charcoal hood stripes

I have black ones on my car. I like the look alot! I dont have my center cap black though like the one in the pic you have, so its kinda like the Blackbird in a sense also. I just did my wheels black because I didnt want to be a clone Blackbird and I just wanted to be a little different. Now there are alot of people getting their TT II's black but atleast I will be the only one in town with Black TT II's I hope!

As stated earlier, both look badass!

I've been considering charcoal for my TTIIs, but that pic you have on your site with the black spokes looks sweet...a little "Knight Rider-ish"...

I don't think you can go wrong with either one. They both look sick. Go with what's cheaper.

Yup. Either one is sick man. If I had the choice though, I'd go with the black and black. Looks perfect on you car and makes it look clean. If you got with the charcoal metallic, it'll look more different and still bling.

The only pics I have of the Blackbird stripes is the one in my sig. The stripe was a silver metallic, but I am in the process of painting the hood, and I allready have a set of Charcoal Blackbird stripes ready for the hood when the paint is done. The wheels were done by Pro Fab Racing. They are a sponsor here on LS1TECH! I only had to pay for shipping on my wheels cause I got a special deal, but I here they are VERY affordable! Give them a call and tell them what you need done. Here are some pics of my car. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/701150/1

The black wheels look good on black cars. I think Im going to see how a set of black TT2s would look on my car. Right now they are just polished. I think Im going to swap wheels with my friend to see how the powder coated look on it.
