Wheel opinions PLEASE????
Okay, I'm a girl so I changed my mind. lol
But, I'm glad and very happy with my final decision. However, I'm needing some opinions on color.
My car is "SGM" Sterling Gray Metallic and I'm getting either matte black or gunmetal Forgestar CF5, 19 inch by 9 inch in front and 19 inch by 10 inch back with appropriate sized BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW 2's.
I also have a matte black Shelby Super Snake stripe kit already awaiting install.
Here a few pics of the choices. Thanks a lot for your help!!!
The plug
Gunmetal-










I know it's a slowmaro, the color is close to my color Mustang,

And now here is matte black-











So, whatcha think? And, thanks again

I would go with the matte black, because it is eaiser to look at, in my opinion. Chrome is flashy, HEY LOOK AT ME!!! I know I have chrome wheels but thats soon to be replaced. But it all comes down to what you want. It looks like your very interested in matte black but you get to spend your money on what you want!
I can relate!!!!!
I have a 2011 GT500 in SG/Black stripes.
I have had the GT500 wheels powdercoated black. They look great close up but when you get farther than say 25 ft the wheel does kind of blend in.
So i have ordered 4 19x9.5 Forgestar CF5 in textured gun metal. I am going to run a square 275/40/19 set up on mine.
You have good taste!

I think gunmetal looks better, but it's a tough choice considering that you'll be putting on some matte black stripes on it. Gunmetal looks better, but matte black would match the stripes you'll be putting on. You're really gonna have to think this through. Good luck!
I would choose getting 19x9/19x11 as a staggered setup. Then you can throw the 295/35 BFG's as they run very big compared to other brands like Nitto. Would look great plus with the 19x11 the concavity is very aggressive.
