Default need help in deciding rims

EDIT: what tires will go nice with the 18x9's in front and 18x10.5 deep dish in the back? i dont want huge ones like some guys with 335's on here but i want a good sized sidewall to protect my rims.





hey guys heres my car with black fr500's and the next post will have with anthracite fr500's (my photoshop skillz) they'd be 18" deep dish in back and 18" regular lip in front
my ? is is do you guys think the black/gray will washout the wheels completely giving me the look of spraypainted wheels?
i figured the anthracites might give more of a chromier look to em in the light.
if not fr500's i was thinking maybe 2000 cobra r wheels?
suggestions? any other wheels i should look at?

And for the price of any of these wheels and tires you could buy a PI head swap and intake swap and worry about looking good later.

yeah well i already bought the heads and intake man. and theres a auction on ebay for 2 deep dish 18"s and 2 regular lip 18"s on ebay and the guy is local so i could possibly win it cause i wont have to pay shipping.
as for the pi swap from what ive been told it'll be at least another grand for the rest of the parts and labor
so i was thinkin i'd try and make it look good cause ive spent 470 and nothings changed lol so rims would be a noticable change

Cool well if you already got the stuff than go for it. And good idea about the shipping thing, picking them up will save a bunch.

Do the work yourself you can probably find a write up about it online but if you dont have the tools then I wouldnt mess around with it. The intake if really easy if I remember correctly the only special tool you need are fuel line disconnectors.Everything else is nuts and bolts.
