Default Wheel suggestions

So I'm looking to get some new wheels for the summer, I want something more chrome, shinny looking but with maybe a little black accent, but nothing with a machined face. I'm open to different styles and was also looking at the super snake alcoa's. Give me your suggestions!

Thanks!!

Well the Alcoas would be max for me, so that's probably about 3000 for wheels and tires

I found these and I like them but I don't know if the offset will make them stick out, I want them to be flush or tucked a bit.

Im a wheel nut but dont do those above. The ones you have look nicer. Look at TSW. They have some nice stuff. MRR & Vossen have some great looks as well.

Im going to get a set of the CV2's for the Porsche. Here is a pic on the Porsche. I didnt see this color combo on the Mustang but they have it in the silver finish in their gallery so they have the sizes for the Mustang.

I like these vossen (also the 78 and the 85): http://www.vossenwheels.com/vossen-wheels-vvs084.html

But I'm just tired of a machined face, I'd really like chrome or a really nice polish, I'm not sure what it is about the alcoas but they just seem to pick up the light from every direction even though they aren't chrome, it's almost like the glow :P

Some people never stop being attracted to shiny things...

I know that you can see what your car will look like with the wheels that tirerack sells using their software. Does any one else offer that feature? When I was hunting for wheels, I had a few that I loved until I saw how bad they'd look on my car.
