Anthracite wheels

Can anyone recommend a set of lightweight wheels, one piece, in a darker gunmetal or Anthracite color? I was thinking Techart Formula GTS, but it's a little too over the top for me.

Talking Formula wheels in anthracite

If the black GTS is too much for you please note that the new Formula II wheel is available in anthracite.

Maybe its just me but those techart anchors look like they would be better at home on a Cayenne. Im more of a BBS, OZ (at a stretch), kind of guy.

My BBS RS-GTs are diamond black which is a metallic gray color (almost a perfect match for Seal Gray) with a polished lip.

I do like those TechArts - if you like that style, those seem like the right choice.

there are lots of lightweight 5 spoke forged wheels in anthracite. i've included examples of various styles available in 19" below.

Rennworx RSR - lipless design similar to Techart GTS ; no extra charge for dark gray powercoat or paint.
this is my favorite 5 spoke wheel. specs are 19x8.5et51 20.5# and 19x11et55 23.5# (needs 7-15mm spacer for the rears)



Forgeline SO3P - 3pc 5 spoke with lip



CCWheel SP500A - 1pc 5 spoke with lip

Here's an Anthracite Rinspeed wheel.
Not sure that there very light though?
Its a 22" in the first picture but they do 18,19 and 20" as well.
I have the 20" but in Diamond cut finish with Antharcite behind shown in second pic.







Good luck with your choice
