Default 2006 Mustang GT Bullit Wheels, Should I Go Chrome Or Black?

Ok I am ready to buy the wheels for my car from american muscle.
I want the deep dish Bullit style 18" x 10 wheel rear 18" x 9 front!

I really like the black rims, but my husband thinks the chrome
will look better. So I would love eveyone's thoughts between
these two. I know I have discussed this before, I want to make
sure I get the best look for my Angel....

Thanks to all

What color is your stripes? the black might look good if you stripes are black also. have you tried some of the places like tire rack with there wheel and car preview?

Ah ha just saw the signature with the black stripes. I would go for the black, but thats my opp. The chrome would look good also but would kind of blend in with the white. Do you have side stripes?

Thumbs up

i am EXTREMELY partial to chrome rims...but if i bought black rims they would have to be on a white car with black stripes! even though every fibre of my being says CHROME! my mind and better taste says go with the black...

Definately the black. I think it will look much tougher. It will give the illusion of a deeper rim IMHO.

I vote for the black. The thumbnail pic of the black has a hint of chrome to set it off.

Just going to add my two cents saw a white mustang with white rims looked pretty good a little on the female side of things other wise i'd vote for black match the stripes.

Go for the black. It will look better with the white car. As a side benefit - the black wheels are aluminum and lighter than the chrome steel wheels.

Husbands are always right.......go with the chrome.

I've never liked black rims anyway.

Chrome never goes out of style... Black will eventually.
