Default TTM Anthracite on 35th LE?

im definitely buying some TT's but im debating on whether or not to get them in anthracite, or to get them in black. a lot of pics with the the rim on the car make it seem like its more of a grey color instead of gunmetal, imo. american racing and tirerack appear to be darker but pictures dont lie unless i am confusing descriptions. anyone have any thoughts?

I have the black ones on my WS6 and I really like them.

For your car however I would suggest the Anthricite. I have seen many red camaros with them and they look great!

+1!!! I have a set coming in and am putting them on my Red T/A. They look good on red cars. Some people say get black, but I'm not much a fan of black rims as I think they will not look very appealing in about 5-10 years.

That's why they make so many different rims, everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Either of the TTMs would look good. I have black on a pewter z vert, it goes nice with the black top, tint, and badges. I do think the anthracite rims look really good with the red, something different.

Please don't do TTM's on your 35'th.

If you want to get a bad *** look, do TTII's with black centers.

I say get what you want its you car your money . I have ttms and love them. The other posters they say the dont like them go on EVERY post with ttms and bash them. The funny thing is they keep saying mustang rims which makes them look real stupid since american racing got the design from the classic torque thrusts not a mustang so which one came out first the classic torque thrusts or the mustang bullet rims hmmm???. But i bet they will think otherwise since there so closed minded and are in love with corvette rims. Just my .02

not really diggin the thought of ttm's on an LE, i thought of putting a set of the anthricite and the design really didnt look that good on the car. I went with a set of polished tt2's and im still not really feeling them. i am considering just putting the stock le rims back on.

These are pictures of Anthracite colored TTII's. TTM's won't ever look this nice and even as nice as these TTII's look, black centers will look even better on your car.

Yeah actually there are. Let me dig up the link. I have it somewhere.

Lol at you. How come when I open up a car magazine they advertise that wheel under their Mustang line? Got an answer for that? Trust me, they ARE Mustang wheels. They can be ordered WITH Shelby or Mustang center caps. American Racing just happens to like making money, go figure, so they sell the rims with all the other bolt patterns and offsets that will make them money.

I can honestly give a crap which wheel came first or where the design came from. They were built so that Mustang guys could buy them and get the deep dish look, while keeping the stock appearance.

I personally think they are too cheap looking. They have a non-polished lip, and flatter spokes than the TTII's. There is a reason they are nearly $300.00 cheaper. I don't care if anyone on this forum buys them. That's their choice. I'm advising against it because you can get MUCH better for a little bit more money.

I happen to think your current LE rims are my favorite and i just ordered some for my 01 blk SS but if you have to change i think the TTII anth would be your best bet.

Those were second on my list BTW but alot of my friends gave me crap about TTII's anth color on my blk SS.

I thought it would have looked fine but i am glad i didn't cause i think the LE's are going to look even better.
