Sounds like me a couple of weeks ago. I decided in steps....chrome....then 17" for tire prices....then how wide of a tire I wanted in the back.....then style.....then company with some good references. You could getsome 17 x 9 Saleens and put a 285 on the back no problem to avoid the 18" tire prices. A 315 will go on the 9" with a little side buldge. But, if you want the deep dish, well, I think the rivets look good on those e-bay ones. I was going to get those untill I checked OE wheels with the BBB and they had a poor rating. Sorry if I'm long winded, but I thought you wanted ideas.

those rims are on amach 1 in the 5.0mustang and superfords magazine... it looks sweet, but the rims are black in some places to make them look like they are from back-in-the-day.. you should check them out and go from there
EDIT: i just checked them out.. they are similar.. here they are

Those Chrome wheels will pit in no time, they are absolte garbage!!! You'l be sorry. I would go polished if you get cheapo wheels. A quality set of chrome plated whels runs about 3k just for the wheels, so go compare!

Well... I was gonna say I'd be a bit skeptical being there is no mention of wheel brand... I had some cheap 18" wheels once on my Camaro, the tire would get just a little low and the wheel would bend WAY easy! Those little yellow dots on the road would tear them up with the tires just being a little low! good thing was fixing them was easy.... a few bangs with a dead blow hammer and I was good to go! 
I didnt see but are the tires DOT approved? I remember reading they were new from Japan... or someplace... but they may not be US DOT approved... either way they are nice looking rims, with different looking tires... tires alone would cost you AT LEAST $600! Cant beat the price! What do you have to lose? They will at least last a few years! Wheels that is... I myself am going with 18" Black03 Cobra rims, I have found one company that sells them powder coated, everyone else is painted black...
On note of white rims.... IMOP any color other than black is a bit ricey ::dodges punches::
