Quick question. I'm considering buying some 17x10.5 Anthracite Deep Dish Bullitt Wheels for the rear. Do knock off or replica rim's Anthracite COLOR match with the Stock OEM Anthracite? To save a little money I was thinking of getting a set of 17x10.5 Antracite rims for the rear and get a good street tire.Then I'd like to use the two spare stockers 17x8 and put a set of slicks or DR's on them for the track.

Ideas suggestions welcome.

I've asked this before but never got confirmation.

The aftermarket ones I've seen are darker and have more depth than the stockers. The stockers seem dull next to the ones I've seen in person.

That's great where did you orders from? Can you take some pics? What about the center caps? So your saying that in the front you have 17x8 with 235/55/17 and in the rear you have 18x10 275/40/18?

Yes please take some close up picutres as I've had this very delima I'd rather buy two 10.5" rims than 4" and if the color match's up then that would be awsome. What are you guys doing about the center caps?
Yeah mine is an 05 and I've still havent had or seen anyone confirm if the shading is the same on the 05's I would guess the shading would be off a little too. But pics speak a thousand words.

Hey..
Sounds like the result is that the 10.5 Anthracite aftermarket wheels MATCH the wheels on my 02 GT???? I was planning on the same 2 wheel swap, and keeping the 2 that I take off, for another set of fronts., when the time comes.

I tried to ask the people at Americanmuscle.com, about the match, but no luck with a reponse..
Thanks, Craig

I've had mine 17x10.5's for a while now. I think they match pretty closely the color of the stock wheels. I'm not sure if its correct but I have heard that the anthracite color did change on the stock wheels somewhere along the way (not sure what year). I purchased some stock center caps to match mine but they did not fit perfectly in the replica wheels. The cap opening is a little bigger on the replicas, not enough that they will fall out but you can spin them around where they fit tightly in the stock wheels.
