I think I've decided what rims i want to run on my fastback. now I can't decide if I chrome or gun metal centers.

They would be staggered and the car will more than likely be limegold with the rear aluminum ribbed tailight panel painted matte black a matte black chin spoiler black striped above the rocker panel. Mustang plus ground effects and the hood if I can fit it all underneath the gt turn signal hood if not a cowl one.

Or I'm also open to suggestions of color combos. I'd like to stick to a color available in the 60's

Gun metal would be nice. The chrome ones look like bigger Torq Thrusts.

If the car was gun metal also to match the rims I would need to change my pants!

I hate chrome and fingerprints..... I think the gunmetal looks better. I'm thinking about doing all the chrome parts on my fastback a gunmetal like color.

What color is your fastback again? Personally I love the look of gunmetal but if you want the best of both worlds...black chrome! Not sure if that is a finish they offer but it does look sick.

I would have got the staggered but the 9.5 didn't fit the rear.also the gun metal has a rough finish texture compare to the chrome or black,I didn't know that till I actually seen the wheels in person.
