I can't Decide
 
So I'm looking at getting some 17" TTM's for my NBM formy. I just can't decide between Anthracite or black. I hate asking other people to make my decisions for me but I really really like both of them. So ya, I'm gonna have dark tint on the car soon and other than that the exterior is stock NBM with a WS6 hood. What does everyone think? I don't think I need to post pics of the car or wheels because everyone knows what they look like lol. They don't have a choice but to look better than the silver painted C5 vette wheels on there now that rub with a 295/45/18 rear.

Ya the tires were on the car when I bought it. Rubs the inner fender well pretty good with a passenger if you make a left turn. I didn't wanna BFH mod my car if I'm gonna get wheels that actually FIT. I guess I might have to anyway for 315's.

Ehh, get the anthracite. The black will look tacky against the blue. Honestly a chrome wheel would look the best. BTW, if you haven't noticed Josh O. and I are looking for you in town.

Seriously dude, between me and ryan there is an intense amount of fbody knowledge. All you have to do is ask us.

Anthracite. Black isn't enough contrast.

Trust me, I know.

theres a good sticky in the wheels section about what color wheel goes with what color car, and he addresses your situation exactly,"On rare occasions, venturing outside of the recommendations may work, but most of the time there are better choices to be made. For example, you may feel that your black wheels on a navy blue car look great, but I guarantee one of the other finishes would look even better to the rest of the automotive world. Do you ever wear navy blue dress pants with a black dress shirt?"

I voted Anthracite as well. If you are doing the 11's in the back you should be able to get them to fit with an adjustable PHB w/o pounding. Lower it and it'll look sick.
