AM seven spoke anthracite wheels

So I'm kind of liking the look of this wheel. I can't seem to find a bigger pic than this,

Anyone with these perhaps could be so kind as to take a high res pic?

I think these would look great against the black car and yet not as drastic as going to a purely black wheel.
THoughts?

Chris

Post #3 has a photo...may not be as hi-res as you want, though.

Found a slightly better image of the rim...

Thanks Don! I like those! Now I guess I gotta find out how much to get a set from UK!

I bought my set used off of Craig's list a couple of years back initially for my track rims, but I liked them so much on the car that I swapped the TPMS sensors over and I now have my track rubber on the OEM silver rims .
Saved a boatload of money, too!
You can also buy a set of used rims and have them powder coated...that may be the most cost effective solution.
Centers are available separately too; silver, anthracite and black.

Thanks Don, say, aren't you getting tired of those anthracite wheels now?

Chris, why not simply get yours painted or powder-coated? It would probably cost you less than $500.

Karl, yep, that's the smart way to go, no doubt. Don't fancy putting my car up on blocks. I'd really reallly really like to get the sport wheels in Anthracite but they're more than double the seven spoke price.

Do you have any experience with shops to send the wheels to for painting?

We have wheels painted all the time-probably 3 or 4 sets a month.
