IMO gunmetal is tough to beat for a black car. I had a Z28 that was black, gunmetal trim and wheels.

Gun metal looks nice. but black on black is hard to beat.

Try the much maligned oe wheels site.
I got my black bullitt wheels from them.

I was thinking black 1" lip 18X9 Gt4 or FR500 clones or tenth anniversary wheels for mine someday.

They have gun metal too.

OE wheels builds the wheels or distribute the wheels fo most cars..they are the middleman; hence the prices.
These are not cheaply built wheels.
Order on line to make sure they don't f it up over the phone. Ask me how I know.

They are sell on ebay.

Oe doesn't have the saleens in 18x10.5 :(
I wanna run a 315 in the back and I've heard that on a 10 inch rim it will bulge too much

I plan to go with gunmetal 18 x 10.5 Saleens on my black Cobra. Who does carry these?

I agree with the 315 on a 10" wheel. It might be a bit too much tire, but only barely.

315 is too much tire for a 10" wheel, need an 11" or so.

I say forget the idea of the xxrs, not a fan. Get some gunmetal saleens!
