Default Antracite Bullitt Wheels

Would those of you running aftermarket anthracite bullitt wheelssay the painted center is darker than that of the factory stock painted wheels?

I'm approaching the time for new tires and am considering 18 inch wheels. Currently running 17 inch painted stock bullitts and want to maintain the bullitt style but would like a slightly darker center than thestock wheel (but not black). The pictures on the various websites seem to indicate a darker, grayer finish but I haven't seen any on the road yet.

I would appreciate your input.

Yes they are darker. Someone has the 17x9's on the back with drag radials and the stock 17x8's on the front. I have a set on order, but they are still on backorder.

Yeah, I think they are also. I didn't notice the difference until I parked beside a stock GT one day.

Who could that be I wonder???

To the OP, here's a look-see



In person, no one has ever commented that the wheels look different (front vs back). It's a slight color difference, but it not drastic...
