Click to expand...

Chrome looks great, but it's too common if you ask me. I'd go with the anthracite.

20" or 18" ?
I almost bought the anthracite wheels but went with the old school chrome and black look.
I think anthracite would look good if you went with other gray accents i.e. stripes/gray or CF center tail light trunk blackout etc.
It's really up to you...
Get what you like. You have to drive it.

I am debating the same issue as you. As soon as I lowered my car I now noticed that I will need wider wheels, as for the fenders hang way over them.

I am debating between chrome razors or just the natural metal look. I think I am going to go with 20's as well, as for I am not a speed racer.

The painted alluminum (anthricite) looks good with a polished lip. I think the wheel has to have SOME chrome or machine metal to give it some shine when going down the road.

AND i was going to go with DD bullitts like you, but I shipped them back, as for; i woke up one morning and just didnt want them anymore.


Wheels SUCK, thats my conclusion


P.S. Sorry I was no help.

I also have a torch red and am debating the same question for the purchase of the cs66 wheels. I spoke with someone at buywheels and he stated that the darker color cars always look better with chrome and the the lighter colors the anthricite. It seems to kinda make sense as the chome on black in this thread is sweet.

goning to go ahead and get eibachs while i debate this myself:SNSign:
