Default Black or Anthracite...?

I have a silver 02 WS6. I want to get new wheels and can't decide if the black TTII's or the Anthracite will look better? any thoughts?

thanks

I vote anthracite ... that's what the Blackbird cars were - silver with anthracite wheels. Looked fantastic. It's what I'll do if I get wheels on my car.

I say anthracite, black can sometimes be too dark for a wheel like that. Although, I've been told the Anthracite TTM's are on national backorder. Do they make the TTII's in anthracite?

My TT M's in Black are sitting in my garage waiting to be mounted on the car. Just waiting to get home from Florida to the cold of Pittsburgh so i can possibly take the car out of its winter shelter to get the wheels mounted. after all I have the money in hand from the guy that is buying my stockers. got to get them sent out to him ASAP
