Need advice, which wheels look better on my car??

I say get them machined so they look like 35th aniversary wheels.
Having ten black spokes chops up the wheel rim too much. I say go for these:

Like bradyb said, look into the option of getting your rims to look like the 35th Anniversary rims. They look nice on a black car! I've seen pictures around the internet (just can't remember right now).
What you got there is OK, just maybe a touch too much black.

I think it would look pretty slick. I would make sure it was a high gloss black. The other thing you might want to do is get the rest of the wheel polished. That would look sweet!

Well, at first I was just screaming don't do it...but then I got to thinking...
I posted a couple of days ago to find out about the color on the newer Mustang 5 spokes...Thanks to Chuckys95 and Mad Machinist, I now know that it is called 1. gunmetal 2. anthracite or
3. argent...Anthracite is the most common I believe. Since I am thinking of getting some 10 spoke SS wheels, it would be sweet if you did this, but I doubt you will, but what I was thinking is to get them Powdercoated that color...
Here's a couple of links those guys gave me in case you're not sure what I am talking about...
This is an ROH ZS series wheel...
And here is a pic of some TTII's that have been powder coated this color on a Black Camaro...
I like this much much better than black...start looking at Volvo's, a lot of them have this color of wheel, and the black ones look dang sharp. I wouldm't do the black at all though, but if you must, do the whole wheel.
I only like black wheels on red cars...but the Gunmetal...that's a different story.

I also have a black Z with SS 10-spokes. I tried for several months to get a pair of the 35th Annniv. wheels but no luck. I'm still considering taking my wheels off this winter and having them painted/polished to match. I think the thin silver 10-spokes stand OUT on the black background of the 35th wheels looks great. I think the all black spokes is a little to much black for me.

I have been trying to get a set of these wheels for awhile now and they are almost impossible to get. I found a place they will sell them to me at around $270 a pcs....I have a friend that works at GM that is going to try to get them for me a little cheaper.
