Which Color EC-7?

Aries326 · 03-29-2013, 10:20 PM

So after searching and researching, Apex EC-7 is what I'll be picking up with PSS tires. Which color should I get? I'm stuck between matte black and anthracite.

Id do matte black on your white car. would look hawwwt.

On white, between anthracite and black I'd vote anthracite.

Man, gotta say I love my satin black EC7s. On white... Drools. That would look amazing. And the PSS... The car feels completely different now. Way more planted and confidence inspiring.

I vote anthracite...but I just don't like black wheels, because it hides the design of the wheel

+1. With my white coupe, I actually prefer a brighter silver wheel for contrast and being able to see the wheel itself. The EC-7 wheels look good, why hide them? However, a white roadster with a black top might offer a nice black wheel contrast.

I love black wheels, but not flat black.

Buy anthracite, if you don't like them, then plastidip them matte black or gloss black (~$50 total). Best of all worlds.

Anthracite

I vote style 108's. if not that, then I vote for silver ec7's.

breaking the rules, I know... but alpine white has so much more depth to it when it's on silver. it's less plastic looking.

if you're just looking for something flush, keep the 108's and get spacers.

The responses don't make it easy, do they? Fairly balanced either way. Looks like a toss-up.

Aries326 · 04-02-2013, 08:48 PM

Definitely a toss up. I can see how getting black hides the design of the wheels. Anthracite looks good but having black grills, wheels and top seem to do the trick... Tough one...

As for getting spacers with the 108s, I may opt for that for now. Especially if I end up blowing some cash on angel eyes upgrade.

Aries, can't tell from your sig picture if you have the white Euro reflectors on the front. On our AW cars they make a major cosmetic improvement. Another consideration for the look you're going for.

I just ordered a pair of euro reflectors. The guy hasn't confirmed the order yet. I should've waited a few days longer. Someone just replied to my wtb thread for the euro reflectors.
