so thinking of changing up my wheels yet again, something about these anniversary replicas seem off to me ever since I had them mounted. And I think I am over the Deep Dish look. So I am planning on purchasing some 18x9/18x10 Saleen wheels but I cant decide if I want Chrome or Silver. I like the look of Chrome but I think it's kinda too "flashy" for me and the silver are more of a subtle look which I am leaning towards. any opinons would be appreciated

LOVE white on white - those would look hot.

I'm leaning towards painting my FR's white - leaving the lip polished

I am with everyone else that says it looks good as it sits, BUT, if you do end up with saleens, I think Gunmetal or Hypercoat would look the best.

I too think the current wheels are the best of the three choices.
