Default 18" Polished or 17" Grey Bullitts?

Help me on this people. My GT is tungsten and came with the 17" Stock Grey Bullitts. Which look good because the grey spokes seem to match the tungsten color very well. But the 17" wheels just don't fit the wheel wells very good (IMO).

Well, I recently bought a set of OEM Takeoff 18" Polished Bullitts (Aluminum) with the stock BF Goodrich tires. They fillthe wheel well very nicely. But the polished is not gtowing on me. I think they are too Shiny and take away from the rest of the car. Also it seems that the car is slower?

So what are your opinions? Should I keep the Polished on or go back to the 17's?

I don't have tungsten, but I have close *mineral gray* with the polished and it looks beautiful IMO.

Well I can't vote because the site is still hosed up, I don't know why they can't seem to fix this place.
But, anyways keep the 18" ALUs, they look fantastic and much better then the 17" painted rims.

18" polished...I think they look great with any shade of grey (although mineral was my favorite).

I have Tungstun and it came with the 18's polished, I sold them and got the 20 inch anthracite bullets and love em. I can't post a pic since our work computers blocks photobucket. Id keep the 18's if I had to decide on the 18's versus the 17's.
