Help me Choose: 949 6UL 17x8 Beryllium vs Charcoal vs Tungsten
 

Help me Choose. I have a series 10 FRS which has a cross between silver and a shade of light blue in different lights. I had my heart set on Beryllium but I am starting to second guess and I am leaning towards Charcoal now.

Beryllium is last on my list. I'd go with Charcoal or Tungsten personally. My car is white but my Enkei PF01s are a similar-ish design:

I love the Charcoal finish on mine :D

Interesting poll shows 6 people have voted for Beryllium, 5 for Tungsten, and 1 for Charcoal so far... Keep it coming guys :)

Do you have a good clear picture in day time of the wheel. Is it more black or lighter?

I vote charcoal because I drive this. Different car but same colors and idea.

That said, I have the tungstens on a red car right now and they look decent on pretty much anything. I'm sure the beryllium does too. Those weren't available when I bought mine.

They do have an interesting sheen in certain lighting, but most of the time they just look more-or-less black. Here are a few random photos:

lighter color car usually look good with a dark color wheel without you picking the right color. So I vote for charcoal.


Beryllium looks pink to me.............but that's just me.......I 'm a color blind. >.>

Thanks to all who have voted so far. Everything is very close and I am leaning towards Charcoal.

I vote charcoal

So it looks like:
Charcoal = matte/satin finish
Beryllium = gloss metallic finish
Tungsten = chrome finish

I prefer gloss metallic, and I also like the hint of blue/cool gray the Beryllium has going on (very similar to the 860SE wheels I have), so that gets my vote.

I am just think the Beryllium will clash to much. If I had a straight Silver car no question i would get it. Here is a good YT video showing it. Jump to the 2:20 mark

Thanks to this user's post I have decided to do Charcoal. It will go with my the lip and Spoiler that will have a carbon fiber overlay.
