Default black or anthracite Torq Thrust M?

I have a silver 02 Z that has the following appearance mods:

stull billet grille
69 Z28 emblems
black halo's
berger panel

would the black or anthracite TTM's look better?

my only knock on the black ones are the glossy finish, if it were a satin black, I would be sold because it would match the Berger panel

The only knock on anthracite is it looks very similar to everyone's Mustang GT that's stock....

which one and why!?!?!?!

I'd probably go anthracite to kinda break up all the black.

I think the gunmetal ones would look good on your silver camaro.

Anthracite on silver is a great look - like the GMMG cars.

I have a silver 02 Z28 also.......I had stock chrome 02 wheels, but last year went with the black and polished lip privats and looked excellent. but the privats turned out to be defective, so now need new wheels. I asked around and I hear alot that the anthracite looks like Mustang wheels, but I was thinking they would look good with the silver.

Here is a pic that might help some people out, the rims on this Blackbird are TT2's painted silver, but this will kind of give you and idea of what anthracite TTM's will look like on silver cars.
