This is what you need to be looking at 
not the wheel you posted yesterday. 
See how nice this car looks? 
Good luck in your search. I hope this thread helps you to decide what would look nice on your car.

Ok here we go,
First off thanks for the great complements I really dig the new set up as does everybody I drive by,
even had a few people fallowing me around town, Kind of weird and disturbing.
Any how the wheels are Boyd Codington junk yard dogs. It took 15 Weeks to get
these which I felt was way to long, never the less they do make the car look great.
Tires are Toyo T1r's
Front 245 45 17 on 17x8 rims with a 4 inch back space.
rear 285 40 18 on 18x10 rims with a 5.5 back space.
Front of car was already lowered when I got it but I think its been lowered 2".
Rear of car I lowered 2" with 8" bolts and narrowed the spring by 3" I also had to
remove the rear sway bar, I will be modifying it and putting it back on.I also relocated the
parking brake bracket from the side of the control arm to the top.
I have not had any rubbing issues on the front or back.
I hope to get some real nice shots of the car in a more picture like setting
and when I do I will post them.
