Default Which wheels?

I can't decide which wheels I want to get! Help me! I will be adding a matte black superstripe (500KR picture)to replace the Foose graphics, also adding center fogs, and tinting the windows and all the lights.

Option 1: 18 x 9" black terminator wheels with ET street Radials

Option 2: 17 x 9" black terminator wheels with M&H racemasters

Option 3: 18 x 9" blackSaleen S style with ET street radials

Option 4 : 18 x 9 and 18 x 10" FR 500 black chrome with ET street radials

or make a recommendation for something else!

Option 1 is sounding pretty nice - so is option 2 tho.

You would do 17x9 up front then 17x10.5 in the back correct?

I would go with #4 FR 500 no doubt.

You said make a recommendation so here it is.

Since your car is yellow (& going w/BSS) I would go with the FR 500 but in a painted black with a silver dish.

Default RE: Which wheels?

to answer the questions:
for the termi's and saleens they would be 9" wide max, i'm afraid a 10" would stick out too far with '99-'04 backspacing

i don't want black/chrome. I won't have chrome anywhere on the car, and think the chrome lip looks out of place. it's primarily why i'm getting rid of the wheels i have.
Also don't want 20's, too much rotational mass and no decent drag radials for them
