Look good, but I think you should replace all 4, because they wont be the same color and they are close but still not the same style.

Do the front and backs the same.
Dont mix and match OErims with AR rims.
They are the Bullitt "style" and dont match
the OEs perfectly in color or style.

The wide rear is not uncommon, and reminiscent of a "dragster" look. There are alot of cars here with that look, and I've seen pictures of ones that have the stock "Bullitts" up front, and wider rears. Aside from the centercaps and the deep dish aspect, the rims are the same style. Your stock rims are either silver, or anthracite-- so get the deep dishes in the matching color.

Besides, if it doesn't look good to you,then just order two more.. easy decision.

Yea thats what I was going for the dragster look. So there basically the same only bigger and deep dish. I was just wondering if it would be the same color as the wheels I already have because the ones now are a grey color.

Also what are your thoughts on 17 in the front and 18 in the back would that look good or bad.

There was a guy that posted not too long ago that put deep dishes on the back with stock Bullitts up front (17s & 18s).. I'm going to try and find that.

Personally, I think it looks good. I would like to try it.

I know what you mean about color. The picture from that website you posted makes the anthracite look almost black... The rims I have, which you see in my sig pic are stock anthracite, and appear more gray. I'm thinking that the guy that posted pictures before had anthracite also, and the color difference was minimal... anyways, I'm going to try and find that post.
