Default anyone "feeling" these?

i knwo im posting alot on wheels but im in the market and want to make the right decision..
how do you guys think these look in 18"ers
i was considering steeda ultralite or the old saleen rim. but these caught my eye they are 18x9.5 3.5" lip witha 35 offset..
will they fit right?? will they look right???? the only pics i see with these wheels are cars with 20"s.. i mean i like rap but im not a rapper

Thin spokes can work on our cars. Take a look at these on the Roush, they flow pretty well IMO.:

hey most people with 05's put these wheels on as 20"ers i do not plan on doing that so with such a deep lip 3 1/2 you guys think these will look puny on an 05?

I love the wheels with as little metal to get in the way of seeing the brakes as possible. I think that looks SO much better and it's easier to clean. I have to say though, since 22' and 20's will fit on the new stangs, i would go with 20's. They look 10 times better and the tires are almost the same price.
