would this wheel look pretty much like a BBS RS-GT if it were in anthracite?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/4477/flik-artic-f-230.jpg"></center><p>I kinda like it for $190 (vs $800 for BBS) in 18x8.5. If it's less than 22 lbs, it might possible. Could sell the 15's and 17's and run thos eFalkne 512 all seasons that people seem to really like.

Is the lip darker on this Flik rim than the rest of the wheel (sorry, my monitor sucks)?

Default yes, this is a pic of the silver finish for the inside...

the polished lip is darker than the silver finish, but of course the lip will be lighter than the anthracite, which I think would look cool. It would like a BBS RS-GT imo.

Default oh, ok then...

I was going to say: if the lip is very dark, it will blend with the tire thus making the rim look smaller than it actually is, but if like you say it's not that dark, then that's cool.

Default well...I am having a some issues with the radons

not sure if the vibration is from the wheel not quite being fixed right, a tire issue or wheels out of balance. Have to have them looked at. I want 18's anyway. I don't like many styles that are relatively cheap and not heavy. And I want more BLING!!!

Default Okay, I was trying to be polite...

If the radons are going out the window, that's fine...but these wheels are ghetto a$$ ugly! Don't spend good money on wheels you "kinda" like, cuz you'll be shopping for new wheels by next spring (or sooner).

Default I was looking at those in black or anthracite

I like them a lot... That "stealth" look is not for everybody though..


Quick Reply: would this wheel look pretty much like a BBS RS-GT if it were in anthracite?
