Go to tirerack and look at the wheels made by SVT. Those are some of the factory rims.

I got the polished Al Bullitts on my car. I think the "fan blade" 18" wheels look better IMO.

Chromed or polished Aluminum, still have to care for them, maybe the chrome more so.

I also think the premium 18" wheels are the fan blades, the 18" chromed Aluminum are the Bullitts
