Default wide wheel and tire combo in 17" or 18"

I am planning on getting my wife a set of black and polished bullet wheels for Christmas to replace her silver 17" bullets on her vapor silver '08 GT and want to replace them with an aggressive looking set of wheels and tires. I like 17" wheels for accelleration purposes but 18" would be fine. I am not interested in 20" or any of the bling bling looking wheels (no offense). What wheel AND tire combination (in the black and polished bullet design) looks really agressive? I want the wheel tire combo to really give it a really nice agressive look without rubbing problems and without too much difference in the overall diameter of the wheels so her 3.55 axle still works well to give good acceleration. Her tires now are 235 55 17s. Pictures would be great!! I would even like to see pictures of wide and aggressive bullet wheels and tire combinations even if they are not black/polished. Thanks!!

18 x 9 wheels with 255/45/18 tires would look great and maintain the stock diameter of 27". I am partial to the black FR500 wheels, but the bullitts are nice too.

americanmuscle.com has some nice bullits in black and chrome. i plan on doing 18x9 in the front and 18x10 in the back. they also have the nitto extremes, which are pretty decent tires.
