Default some wheel questions.. I NEED YOUR HELP/INPUT

Hey guys.. I saw a pic on here of a black GT.. with black saleen wheels. (actually called cobra r bullits or something like that),,either way, heres what they were.. and here is also a pic of his car/rims...

Rims-

His car/rims-
His member name is seniorsminth and you can see his car in his sig, its the second post...

HERES MY IDEA AND QUESTION...


i have an Alloy, and i origionally wanted to do 18 inch chrome bullits staggard wiht a tall fat wide tire in back.. and give it a mean rake..

but at the same time, i loveeee the look of that stealthy lookin mustang hes got goin on.. i think black wouldny look as good on my alloy, so i looked into the wheels anyways.. and they have the same saleen wheels, in gunmetal, hyper, black, chrome and polished.. (links of each below)

LINKS
Gunmetal- (color match to car paint almost)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-9-...QQcmdZViewItem

Hyper- (notice this one has rivets, i can get all of these with or with out the rivets)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-9-...QQcmdZViewItem

Black-
(with or without riverts.. but with kina looks good..)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-9-...QQcmdZViewItem

Chrome- (not on the top of my list)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-9-...QQcmdZViewItem

Polished-
(i like the shine of polish over chrome)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-9-...QQcmdZViewItem

QUESTION: i know these are marked on ebay for 94-04 body, and then some say up to 06.. bolt pattern is the same for both generations, just the offest is different.. if i went with an older generation wheel what would it stick out? or rub on the inside?.. and what is the Suggested offset for the S197...


please, any suggestions on this.. whethere you think it would look good, bad.. anyhting.. if i do this, i plan on doing my new rotors and somehting with my calipers.. (paint or new).. there is too much viewing space to leave them looking like they do..

i really appreciate any input on this.. incase you are wondering my ideal sizes would be 18's... x9 up front and x10 or wider in back..

i may set up a poll wiht the color options.. that way i can see what you guys think would look the best..

thanks again
