Question Shelby Redlines for a 2006 Musatng - Opinions

I'm thinking of upgrading to wider tires and wheels. Shelby Redlines:

- Front: 18x9's with 255/45ZR18
- Back: 18x10's with 285/40ZR18

Shelby Redline Silver w/Machined Lip

I will be going with Nitto 555s if I do this. Need to make some decisions, appreciate any thoughts:

1. 40mm/41mm offsets, or 25mm/30mm?

2. Will tires fit with 1" drop (Steeda Ultralights)?

3. Chrome or Silver?

3. I suggest the Silver wheels because with time they will keep it's integrity, but Honestly for now the stylish look will definitely be chrome. Just my opinion, but here I put something together really quick for yah. Tell me what you think?

Silver


Chrome

Thanks for the photoshop. Makes me more confident in the wheel -- I like

Here ya' on chrome, it was my first reaction. I have the 18" polished torque thrust stockers and I'm always thinking that they would be nicer and shinier if they were chrome. Second guessing myself, thinking that the silver may be a bit classier and less ricey...

Hmm...
