Default Black or Chrome?.......

Allright i need some opinions.....I am thinking about getting Bullits, 18x9's up front and 18x10's in the back. Now i dont know whether to go black with polished lip or chrome bullits. I think the chrome wheel makes the wheels look nice because the dish also being chrome reflects of the wheel it self. I would love it if they made the black bullits with a chrome lip, or chrome dish.. that would look real nice. What do you think?

The Black bullits do have a chrome lip.

At first I wanted the black with polished lip FR500's, but then I saw the way the 18x10's looked and they dont really look deep dish.

Yeah...I got my rims about a week ago from a guy in my area who bought a Sonic Blue Cobra and kept the stock rims. He had just bought these like 2 months ago. I took some more but it's hard to see the lip with chrome...kind of confusing angles.

Yeah...I got the 18X9 18X9 with Nitto 555's in front and 555 DR's in back for 1200.00 bucks and the rims and tires are flawless, I park like a foot away from the curb now.

I've done some research and plan to spend around 1300 alone on rims and tires... Then I have to buy the caster camber plates and the springs to drop it so add another 400 $$

yeah it's hard to find the rims and tires in 18 inch for under 1500.00 in chrome but there are always deals out there. Before I was looking at about 1700.00.

I like chrome! but depends on wat style your looking for? I mean if you go chrome, its my "nice and clean look", and if you go black, you go for the "hard/mean bad "a" look"! Jus my opinion

I didn't know that...do you have any pics or links to the prototype?

I like the black rims but they didn't look right on my color car...If I had a black or silver car then maybe but I like the rims to stand out a lot.
