Would you guess that's 18x9 in front and 18x10 in back? Would it look bad if I had 18x9 on both and the dd's in the back? I like to have the same size tires for rotating reasons..it just ends up being cheaper in the long run, but I may just bite the bullet and go for the staggered look with the tires..I do like the look. Thoughts? Anyone whos gone through the same thought process as me?

rotate with different style rims? doesn't make sense.... unless u plan on actually removing the tires from the rims themselves when rotating.

Yes that is what I was thinking. Just pay 20 or 30 bucks to have it done. What do most people do with the staggered look? Just replace them sooner? I would think the backs would only last 15-20k miles. Plus, if you have directional tread you would have to take the tires off to swap them to the other side anyways to get even wear, right?

Personally I like the the multi-spoke multi-color look it not to common and I think it looks good but I might be a little bias and I know its not on a black car but...
