Astro Black w/ Anthracite R90 Wheels?

I have an astro black MCS and I want to know what 17" anthracite R90 Cross Spokes will look like. Does anyone have any pictures or advice? I cannot find pictures/comments on this color combo anywhere. Thanks.

There are a number of astro blacks with anthracite wheels but I've never seen one with anthracite R90's....have you checked the astro black registry?

i cant tell from the picture above if that is astro black or jet black, but it does help give me the idea. i have a decent idea of anthracite r90's on astro black, but i still havent actually seen it in a picture yet.

on a side note, does anyone have any negative comments about the r90s?

Just that they are pretty heavy... ok if you're just going for looks but if you want a track wheel keep looking. I have seen posts where they claim a weight of 24-25lbs. I will have to weigh mine sometime and let you know.
