Question Gun metal color or chrome wheels?

Does anyone have a pic of chrome or gun metal 18" stock wheel on Anthracite?

Which one do you think it looks better on Anthracite? Chrome or Gunmetal (both 18").

Thanks.

I would also like to see if anyone has any photos of gun metal wheels (17 or 18) on ANY TL. I was thinking of getting a set for my 6MT SSM TL, but don't know what will look good. I tend to lean towards OZ wheels....what do you think?

I have stock 18" on Anthracite, but can't post. If you want to host them mail me at MoReace1@aol.com and I will send them tomorrow morn. Not my pics, so I am not sure if the rims are anthracitey color, seems like a nice combo though

moreace - Your car looks VERY NICE with the 18's and tint, thanks again for the pics.

If you don't mind me asking, how dark is your tint? Again, LOVE the pics!

Thanks,
Travis

Thank you guys!

Very nice pics. The Gun metal color looks great on Anthracite. It blends in nicely!

Just wondering how the chrome pairs with Anthracite...

I guess the chrome wheels also look good on Anthracite too but I wish I can see a picture.

I only need to pay $100 extra if I choose the chrome wheels instead of Gun Metal. So should I go with the Gun metal or Chrome? Any suggestion?

Thanks.

Sorry I did phrase that wrong. I don't even have a TL yet, just the pics. Loved the combo and saved them from another board a while back. Anyways he stated that the pics didn't do the car any justice.
If you do a search I remember somebody posting pics of the chrome rims fairly recently.
Also, thanks for hosting so everyone can enjoy them

Gun metal finish without a doubt. I don't like the chrome look at all.

Moreace - Sorry for mis-understanding (not being your TL) but thanks again for the pics. It certainly helps me out a lot.

I may go for the Acura 18's for now. I'm having a hard time fining 18's that will fit over the Brembo's and that I actually like. The Acura 18's would be a good trade off for a year or two until somebody comes out with an aftermarket 18 I would like.... I guess I've got some thinking to do.

The above pics would also look killer with the car lowered, no doubt.

Moreace - The other pics didn't get to my other e-mail address. Do you know how large the file was zipped? I've got an 8meg per e-mail limit.

Thanks again,
Travis

I have no idea, just e-mail me from any account you want and ask for the remaining 2 pics becasue there were 4 in total and you have 2. That should make it small enough to work..

Also I like Anthracite on Gun metal where there is not much contrast. Didn't anyone watch Knight Rider, black car w/ big black rims, looked good

I also prefer stock Acura rims because it gives you that better look w/ out the "rice" affect of aftermarket. Just more classy in my opinion because they are stock, bot not.

Hoping Soon for Anthracite/ Quartz w/ 18" and body kit coming later

How did you post those pics? I have pics of my RR/Ebony with the 18's that I would love to post.

Bartman -

With the gallery down you need some place to host them. If you want to e-mail them to me I can host them for you.

I was thinking about chrome, but I'm not sure they would look good because there is no chrome on the door handles or around the windows.

Gun metal all the way. Chrome is out of place on this car. Man, every time I look at this car in anthracite it looks like a Pontiac to me.
