Thumbs up 18" Wheels - selection

I am getting ready to install my 18" wheels. I have two choices:
1. the 18" version of the gray bullitt - or -
2. polished (not chrome) Cobra R Wheels or the year 2000 R Wheel

Since I will need to live with these choices I would like your input. The Charcoal and polished Bullitts give that retro classic look. The brighter polished Cobra's give the more exotic look.

What would you do?

Thanks,

Hoop

I like the bullitt wheels the best, but if I went with cobra wheels then I would rather have chrome. Just my .02

I saw a guy with some 18" Y2k Motorsport R's and they looked HELLA SMOOTH on your body style. The little nub things around the lip of the wheel give it that added "bling effect". Dont get the older cobra R's on your car, and the 18" chrome bullits would be very cool too.

If I had the money, I'd buy the 18" motorsport R's. Hope this helps a little.

I had the new wheels put on today. 18" Bullits with 275/35 and 245/40's.
It looks very very good. The bullits simply look like a stock GT but are much more aggresive looking but subtle. The 275's are really nice looking in the rear from behind as well. By the way I used the Falken FK 451.
