Default TTM's Anthracite or Black?

Thinking about getting the ttms but i gotta figure out which finish would look best, The car is a silver ws6 with black overlays on the door emblems and the license plate cover. The car has the ceta mod done in semi gloss black and has black blackbird stripes. Now do you guys think that the grey or the black would suit the car better? I really like the big lip on these wheels and think it will come down to betweent this wheel. The other wheel i was looking at was the c5z wheels in chrome.

I got the anthracite's because I loved the color. I didn't like the black wheels because I think they hide the details and I'm not a fan of black wheels in general, however they would've flowed better with the car but idgaf lol

been looking for new wheels for my 95 z28 vert. American Racing razors in gunmetal in 19 or 20 in would be killer on my z28 against the polo green and gray fabric interior, but alas they have been disc. Its a matter of taste of course, but it would be a classic as well as a unique combo. Would never consider upgrading wheels to anything smaller then 19 or 20 in. Any ideas where I might find AR razors still in some suppliers stock? thanks

I was really debating on plastidipping mine black but once I got then on and cleaned and waxed them I fell in love with the look and I'm a die hard black wheel guy.

I'm for anthracite also. I have the charcoal bird and overlays. I wish the anthracite were a tad darker, but I do still prefer them to black. You can click on the link in my user profile to see some pics.

Default TTM-black or anthracite?

So my fiancé finally gave me the go on some TTM's for my T/A (God bless her)
Problem I'm having is an internal debate on whether or not black w/machined lip or anthracite. I Really like both but am having one hell of a time making up my mind so I turn to the more experienced crew...

Going on a black T/A. Looking at 17x9 and 17x10.5 with 275/40/17 and 315/35/17's in the rear... Any advice will be appreciated even though I know this has been beaten to death!

don't get me wrong, I love chrome as well. But it's time for something different. I have always had chrome on other cars and need a change to make up for the past 14 years lol

I'd go Anthracite. IMO the only time black wheels look good are when they're not moving. Otherwise you lose the detail of the wheels during any movement, and to me it's just a loss. Especially on a black car. Anthracite, or painted silver look better to me especially on black cars because it shows off the wheels style much more so even when it's moving.

I think you made a good decision. I think the anthracite will look great on your car.
