I've been considering the matte/flat blk FR500's. I have glossy blk with a polished lip currently on the 08.
Can't go far wrong with FR500's. I personally really like the subtle contrast between a glossy black Stang and matte/flat black rims

haha, funny you noticed that too. I swear I can't get a "stunning" picture of my car. The only one I have really liked is the one in my sig, which was taken with a crappy camera. Since then, I have bought a $2k dslr and can't seem to get that "WOW" picture again. Maybe because it's winter and everything is dead? My polished bullitts were much more photogenic.

Oh yes, I love the black with the chrome lip. (btw your's are stunning on both cars) They don't have any of those in stock atm. It's the thought of the matte black on black with no chrome accent to break it up that scares me. They look great on other cars but I would like to see them on an all black car.

I think black wheels in general are just much harder to photograph. They just don't "pop" for the camera the way a machined, polished, or light colored painted wheel can, even though they can look jaw dropping in person. It's sort of a weird trade-off
