just go with 18's all the way around........it'd be cheaper than trying to get the rim of yours polished.

It wouldnt be cheaper to buy 18s all around. You are looking at another 500 dollars for the new rims and tires. Are your front wheels 17x8 or 17x9? Are they the stock wheels? Last time I looked at the stock bullits they didn't really have a lip to polish. If it does then try self polishing with some kind of paint remover around the lip. But be careful not to get it on the wheel. Probably cost you 50 bucks for all of the supplies and it will take you a few hours. There's a write up on SVTPerformance.com about polishing a satin wheel. I'd say try that first. Could save you a lot of money.

Just get some 17 deep dish for the rear and lower the car. It'll look good.
