I like the special silver or whatever it was.

But then again, some of the pictures in your last thread with black saleens blew those pictures above clean out of the water.

and I'm not even a fan of black wheels, they just looked amazing

Saleens are good looking wheels, but in your case, go with a silver, or go with a diff wheel.
I wish I could see the black finish in person though. Part of what inspired me to go silver is a Mach with silver FR500s... looks incredible. Too bad I seem to be so hell bent on Saleens lol.

Really? I think they'd look amazing Especially when I get the Mach to have the right stance that I want. It's low but not quite low enough.

I've recently started getting bored of black wheels (mainly black wheels with a chrome lip), but for some reason the black Saleens keep bringing me back to loving them in some way or another.

Haha I'm thinking about it. I have potential deal on some hypercoated Saleens with 315/30/18 rears and 265/35/18 fronts for the same price I could get the same wheels with just 295/35/18 Nittos. If they're hypersilver, I'm probably going to do it. If they're hyperblack, I might end up passing on the deal.

Don't do black. My buddy put black Fr500's on his Mach and he wishes he want with silver. Black wheels lack dimension. It can be difficult to make out their shape from a distance. Go with silver!

That's one thing I don't like about black wheels. From a distance and in the shade you can't really see what the wheels look like.
