    Polished or Anthracite?

    Got a new Tahoe and thinking about darkening up the wheels a bit.
    Dont want black wheels but thought that powder coating the stock wheels Anthracite would look the coolest against the gray. Dealer painted both front and rear bow tie black for me. Looks really good.
    Keep it stock or get the wheels powdered Anthracite? What do you guys think?

        I like the black wheels better, but you're in cali so the chrome bling bling would be more hip.

          Black wheels always look like crap. They just become black holes under the vehicle, doesn't matter what wheels they are or what car its on. They always look like crap. A dark silver works, but you have to have some contrast to the tire.

              Ew, Tahoe. Are they the SUVs that are still using the same parts as 6 years ago? As in no hids etc?

              My dad wanted to replace our honda pilot with one and i was like, you complain about gas mileage now, are you kidding me?

              So how are the mpgs with that? Its like a 4L V8?

                Not totally sure about doing this but my buddy at the powder coating shop said for me, to do all four wheels he'd only charge me $150.00.That's why it's soooo tempting.

                      Was your rear quarter hit/repainted? I think that modifying a car like that in any way (well cosmetically at least) is sort of our of place and a bit ghetto. With that said I think it looks half decent, but at the end of the day you're painting the wheels on your tahoe...

                          Looks fine to me, unless you mean the rear bumper, which, in the picture does look slightly odd.

                              Look at the paint colors. The shade is much darker on that panel.

                              And honestly, this much fucking shit for asking one fucking question? It was a fucking question. Did I ever say "your quarter has been repainted"? No, I fucking asked, out of curiosity, if it had been. Because it's a different fucking color.
