Default Which wheels to get? Help me decide...

I am buying wheels next month after my vacation and can't decide whether or not to go with the Black Bullitt Motorsport Wheels, Chrome FR500's or Black FR500's... I'm going with 18x9/18x10 inches. Can you guys help me out with some pics & advice?

Here is a picture of my mustang now. I like the chrome look but with my two tone theme, I gotta go Black right? Or go chrome?!?

For the sake of god do not do chrome. Every car in the world has chrome.

Do black FR500's...they may be played out or whatever (lies) but they're badass on a grey car.

you could always look into Black Chrome in either brand if you can find them in the size you want!

Everyone has black these days, I love DSG with chrome wheels, either bullits or cobra r's or something of that sort. I was looking for a DSG Mach and that was going to be the first thing I was going to do, chrome bullits.

Everyone has always had bullitts and they've been played out for a looooong time. Unfortunately it seems that everyone and their brother is getting FR500's lately, I've seen 3 other cars near me with them over the last 2 weeks.

I'm a Saleen fanatic, I absolutely love the "S" style wheels. I will have a set of Black or Hypercoated Saleen's at some point. Only thing that sucks is that they're 18" only....

IDK, whatever you go with I think your theme would fit with Hypercoated or Black best.

Why sticking to just Cobras, Bullits, and FR500s.

Why not go for some other wheels like Roush or Shelbys and be completely original. Hell, most five star AR wheels look better than Saleens or Cobras IMO.
