It is totally your preference. I'm going to either put Bullitts or fr500's on mine. No matter which one I get, they will be black and 18X9 in the front, 18X10 in the rear.

There is enough room in the back for a 18x10?

I'm liking that idea!!!!!!!!

My CS Edition came wit the 18" polished bullits, anyone know if they make an identical rim in 18x9.5 or 18x10"
The car really is begging for some bigger tires in the rear. I have also been thinking about going the staggered route.
Maybe 18"s up front and meaty 19"s in the rear. the fr500 and gt500 aftermarket rims are real nice, I did find a couple of rims I really liked but I'm not spending $3k on rims right now after putting down 28K to buy the car.

I'm starting to look at the deep dish rims they have out for the 05+ on the rear they would look pretty good with some huge tires.

Ive got a black 05 also and I am highly considering the Shelby GT500 shown here:

I am not a big fan of the bullits either. I think the FR500s would look good too.
