Default To go chrome or matte

Well ive been debating with my self to go with a set of chrome bullits with dd rears, or some gt500 newer style in matte black. I havnt seen to many pick of my color car with either. By the way I am also planing on having matte black stripes in the near future.

I'm seriously thinking about some black chrome bullitts myself. Stangmods has a nice set made by Wheel Replcas. Check them out as another option.

I'd stay away from all these cheap branded chrome wheels, the finish simply isn't that durable.

What color is your car?

For me, the less chrome, the better.

Since you're doing the stripes, go black.

I am personally loving those 2010 styled machined GT500s. Also, unless you are REALLY wanting that Deep dish offset rear look in the back, there aren't many tire options that really benefit the offset.

So I would steer away from tire setups of 255 front, 275 rear. That's like a little over 3/4 of an inch, to me that's not worth not being able to rotate your tires. 255 front 285 rear would be the minimum I would suggest, and also the route the GT500 takes because the tire height/side wall heights are almost matching and it's about 1 1/4 inches wider.

Stay away from black chrome, it is difficult to maintain and most people have issues with peeling.. Depending on the color of your car, maybe post some pictures. Personally like someone else said the less chrome the better, my car is all blacked out so iam bias, so i say thumbs up to matte.
