Default Best wheel color for an alloy GT

Recently upgraded the black v6 to a new an 09 Alloy GT however I am having a wheel color issue. I currently have 20" black bullitts on my old v6 and i cant decide whether to keep them and put them on my Alloy. i wondered how black wheels will look cause the stock chrome 18s it has are pretty nice. anyway thoughts or pics?

ya i was thinking if i did go black id replace the 20s. they were great on the 6 but i could feel the difference in performance between those and the stocks and it didnt matter when i had the 6 but now with the GT i think i am going back to 18s

I thought about getting black rims, but when I saw mkeelers rims I was sold. I have silver rims with a chrome lip and couldn't be happier.

Black on alloy looks pretty good. It's pretty popular color combo.

You actually have it easy IMO...
You could retain your Bullit, go with siver, gun metal or chrome.

I'm not a fan of black wheels on a dark car. But that's me. I'd consider a black chrome wheel with chrome edge and trim but I really like the subdude look of my GT500 takeoffs.

I got more looks and compliments on my anthracite (dark gray) shelby razors from the general public. Everyone loved those and would come up to me at gas stations and crap to tell me how they feel. My car guy friends prefer the black steedas I'm currently running but the general public doesn't feel em' lol.

The black wheels just look business-like to me...
