Default Black Bullitt's - Anybody have them?

Anybody with black bullitt rims have a picture of your car? Especially Silver car? Seem's like the blacks would go well with silver.... Can't decide on 17" or 18"...... how much do the 18" wheels effect performance? By a noticable amount? Especially from a dig..... and, I am talking about the wheels having a NEGATIVE effect on performance, due to greater mass.

18" fill the holes better, IMO. No noticable acceleration hit, but braking seems to suffer a bit.

I've got 18x9, 18x10 on Satin Silver. I'll post pics tommorow.

I am really worried that the black wheels will blend into the dark background of the shadows behind the wheel, and the wheels will just end up looking like a big black hole on each corner... i.e. the detail of the wheels will be lost against the dark background.

Anybody else with pictures?

a good site to check out would be www.ponybuilder.com

they used to not have much but i checked back a few days ago and they had a lot of new parts to play around with... including the center fog lights im looking at!

and i know pretty much for a fact that they have the black bullits on there
EDIT: just checked, they have the 17x8 bullitts on there... just click on wheels then scroll a little bit to the right to find 'em

Thanks for the link. This just makes me more certain the blacks WON'T look good.

Black bullits will look awesome, especially if you get them with the chrome lip!

If you care about performance at all, i wouldn't go bigger then 17" rims, and definetly no chrome rims...chrome looks great, but sucks performance wise. I can't even imagine what a slug this car must be with 19, 20" heavy *** chrome rims.

Oh man.. I keep thinking they would look good, but damn, I am just worried that the black spokes just won't even show up... they'll just get lost in the darkness behind the wheel.... Wish I could see some good pictures.

... and after searching for performance and doing the tune, CAI and muffler, the last thing I want to do is give back some performance to heavy wheels, so maybe I will stick with 17".
