Default Brainlock on wheel choice

I have been over this a million times. I just cannot decide what to do. Should I get black bullits (with the silver rim) or just go with GT takeoffs from Saleen. The GT takeoffs will cost me $580, and black bullits will run me probably $1100 till I'm done. That's a big $520 difference. The $520 is about 2/3 of what I need to get 3.73's, T-lok and install.

AGRGGHHHHH.

On one hand, I think the black bullits will really compliment the black roof, wing, spoiler and decal, and finish the look.

On the other hand, I already have enough black, just go with the 17" Saleen takeoffs and have it over with. They look real good too.

Oh ya, I was assuming I would get 17" blacks too.

I would get the black bullits with the chrome rim... but at least get 18's.. no sense in getting a new rim and not upsizing it.

I'm against black rims in general. You lose definition when you go with a black wheel. And the same could be said for ablack car...HOLD ON HOLD ON...dont bash me..BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL and I had a black Ranger that was my baby for 10 years. But if you have subtle curves that you want to be seen like the Bullit wheels have, I think they are lost on a black rim.

$520 is alot of money to save.. and you could always paint them down the road.

i actually think that the ones from saleen would look better on your car, TOO much contrast is bad

580 for wheels and tires shipped is just too good of a deal to pass up. I know you have your body ensemble complete, but for another 670 (1250) you can get the rest of the take off stuff shipped. As soon as my finances are in order Im getting that. Also the black rims just get lost in the wheel well of the car.
