black or anthracite fr500's? decision needs to be made

I like black those are the ones I'm going with.


I actually had a thread going with mineral grey cars

Heres one I found in another thread that made me decide on Black FR500's

Hypercoated is kind of a shiny anthracite/black chrome looking wheel. In sun, they look kind of like a subtle, or toned down chrome, but in less intense light, they're more anthracite looking. They have excellent contrast in all light, and none of these pictures do them justice. This is what americanmuscle.com says about them:

Hypercoating, sometimes referred to as "Black Chrome", "Liquid Metal", or "Gun Metal", is the process of painting a wheel, polishing it, and then applying a metallic clear coat finish. Our new hypercoated wheels have an amazing “liquid mercury” style finish that changes shades of grey/silver in different lighting conditions, and are sure to attract attention.

You can get them from americanmuscle.com, http://www.americanmuscle.com/18x10-fr500-deepdish-hypercoated.html and I'm sure you can find them other places.

Here are a few pics of mine.

not my car and not mineral gray buy you get the idea




i've never like black wheels. they might look nice up close but stand 5 feet away and they look horrible. no definition to them whatsoever. kinda reminds me of a car with steel wheels that lost its hubcaps

hypercoated FTW

i've seen the anthracite finish in person as well, didn't really like it because it didn't shine like the hypercoated wheels do.

Flyboy- the hypercoated looks great on your black stang! I might have to recommend that to my buddy with a black mach.

great, just when i had my mind set on anthracite you guys go and do this

I dont care for black wheels on a grey car...i would get either anthracite or Hypercoated.

I love the black ones but I am still unsure of which ones I want

I like the black, but I also like the original silver, and the hypercoated. I don't know if I want 18's though.

I will probably just go with the black as to keep with the MG and black theme.Tinted windows, taillights, Graphite (black) interior.
