Default Time to get some new rims!

Was thinking about getting some new rims for my black 01 GT. Here are a few I was looking at, just wanted to know everybody's opinions.

I really like those last ones I linked but they only come in 17" and I would rather get 18" rims. Is there a noticable different between the two? I am getting an Eibach lowering kit so it will help either way. Another question I have is what width should I get? 8" rims in the front and 9" in the back, or should I go with 10" rims. Thanks for the help guys.

THose Cobra R rims look tight. Alot of people may say they dont like the faux beaded look, but i like it. Get 18x9 in front 18x10s in back with some fatty shoes and it will look like a totally different car. [sm=smiley20.gif]

LvGordo, unforutunately those black Cobra R rims only come 17", if they came 18" then I would definately get them. Does anyone know of an 18" rim that looks like this one? http://oewheels.net/oe-cobra-b-r-9-1-new.jpg

Also, with the 1.5-1.6" drop of the Eibach springs, is there a big difference in looks between 17" and 18" rims? Anyone have any pics of either with a similar droprate?
