Wheel Decision
Hey guys....
So i recently had to return my GT500 wheels I was borrowing to my buddy...and I am in the market for a new set of rubber sooooo that means its time for wheels also!
I am so lost on what I want and I change my mind about every ten minutes!
I think I am set on a set of AR TTs in either Anthracite or Black (still cant decide between that), but I feel like I am just doing what everyone does and that kinda bothers me.
I am also considering FRPP Black SVT GT500 wheels and the SVT Black Bullits(because I feel the deep lip makes the 18" AR TTs look a little small, but they are only 8.5 as oppossed to the 9.5/10 id like for the rear wheels), which seems like noone has! So that could be kinda original!
I was also looking at some TSW Vairanos (sp?)...
but anyways what do you guys think, or maybe have some suggestions, that are a little more out of the ordinary...PICS would be great too!
GT is black and will be lowered soon, if you want to see pics see my thread a few threads down!
THANKS GUYS!

A set of steel wheels from a junk yard and painted Barney Purple? That's unlike anything anyone else has. Plus, after the 10 minutes that they're installed when you change your mind, you'll have lost little financially.
I'm sure that doesn't help but you asked, you're indecisive anyway and I'm eating lunch at work and blowing off steam by being a sarcastic azzhole...

Back to trying to be helpful...
Did you like the GT500 wheels? GT500 takeoffs on ebay or elsewhere did it for me. I've also noted the GT500's with the black spokes looking quite nice.

If you like black with a chrome lip (like the pic you posted) then I think you might like these: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...=Black+Painted

What I tell everybody in your position.
1. Photoshop or somehow copy/paste pictures of several of the wheels you think you might like onto a picture of your car.
2. Put the pictures away, don't look at them at all and try not to even think about wheels for at least a couple of days. A week would be better, but probably tougher.
3. Then look at your pictures again. Chances are you won't be trying to choose from quite as many. Maybe it'll be narrowed down to one particular wheel.
Repeat steps 2 & 3 if necessary.
