Default black or grey FR500's?

going with the 17x9 and 17x10.5 from American Muscle with 275's and 315's

im really stuck on the color to go with. ive seen silver stangs with both on them and i like them both.

Black:
makes it looks mean i love the black rim look but may not see the detail of the rim as much in dim light situations

Silver:
on a metallic silver car may not have a big enough contrast differance between the grey and chrome of rims and a silver car. BUT you would be able to see the detail of the rims.

here she is:





and im sticking with the 17's cuz of cheaper tires so i dont need to hear "you sissy get the 18's" that is unless anyone wants to spot me the differance then id be glad to get them!

let me know what you think and why.
thanks guys

I didn't buy a Stang for its reliability. I bought it for the wood I get when I drive it.

they do indeed, just go to American Muscle and under FR500 you will find them.


well after much picture searching and lost sleep my new wheels and tiiaas (boston guy here) will be here no later than thursday. at least thats what the nice customer service girl told me

and i went with black....i know its been done plenty of times but im so pumped to be throwing some 315's on. plus i came to think that the black gives it a meaner look.
