Default Poll:Help me pick my wheels! I'm stuck!

EDIT: I am down to one wheel but still need last details kind of help!

Ok so the car is a 01 Mineral Grey GT as seen here


I want Black Chrome 03 Cobra wheels but can't figure out wich setup to order.

I am looking at these two wheels:

First it's the normal 17x9



And then the 17x9 that has jsut a slight Deep Dish (not the overkill look of some of the deep dish cobras)


Now here is my delima, do I:

A: go with normal style 17x9 black chrome Cobras all the way around.

B: go with Normal 17x9 black chrome in the front with the 17x9 Deep dish from above in the back

OR

C: Go deep dish all the way around?

I really need your help guys. I really want to give the Mineral Grey a good pop. I want this to look really good and not look ugly or something. I also thing the standard style Cobra wheels all the way around may not contrast well with the GT bumper and rockers. They seem to flow better with Cobra parts from pics I have seen. So I was hoping maybe a combination of of the regular style with DD or just DD all around might set off those sharp edges nicely and I think the Black chrome will compliment the MG color better than standard chrome.

Who buys 17" Saleens? It's like having a mentally challenged girlfriend. Everyone's proud of you for having a GF and that you're not gay but they still feel bad for you.

they also have a 17x9 deep dish rear 03 cobra wheel in black chrome that isn't as drastic. Have a look and tell me what you think....

I could do those on the back. They wouldn't be a staggered setup but after seeing the one pic I really ain't feeling those 17x10.5 DD wheels at all heh
