Question Wheels - "Just Add It To The Bill"

I'm having a few things done to my car and figure that I might as well complete it with wheels and a lowering kit. I do not know much at all about wheels and sizes so I am hoping with all of your good grace and experience, you can help me find the right fit.

I would like the black, deep dish bullet wheels at either 17" or 18" and some real meaty tires. I want something that looks real mean from the back but doesn't absolutly kill my gas mileage. I drive highway all day.

Where can I find the package at the right price?
What tire size do you suggest?

Thank you all!

What about 18x10 or 18x9? Or 18x10 on back and 18x9 on front?

I'm running 18x9 up front w/ 255/45/18,
and 18x10 out back w/ 295/45/18.

The stance is amazing with the ProKit.
And the rear tires got some rubber!!!

I'm running the stock wheels and tires up front and placed 18x10" Deep Dish Anthracite's in the rear with 295/45/18 Nitto tires. This stagger gives a pretty mean stance from every angle even without lowering. The space between the tire and wheel-well front and rear are the exact same measurement. I could'nt lower the car because of my driveway but, the chin spoiler helps to give that appearance. (Hope pics came through).
