What do you guys think?

I'm thinking about getting the GodSpeed Omega wheels but before I spend 2 grand I wanted to get some opinions on this photochop...

They are beautiful but I think other than the dish my Steeda 18x10 make the car look just as good.

what color you thinking about? I'd think the chrome would look best, don't know about the black chrome or gunmetal option with your paint color...

I'm thinking maybe it's just the lighting being different, but your chop doesn't look good with the two different shades of silver. If the black accent ones you show have a true silver finish they'll look great. If they're a bit gunmetalish (the way they appear) I don't think it'd look as good. But I think the ones you posted really are a bright silver. Overall I love those wheels, though.







What size you thinking?

I'm sticking with 18x10 for the rear and 18x9 in the front.

unless those are forged, I'd like to see the load rating. they look cool with the deep lip, but the spokes curve nearly horizontal, the spokes arent loaded in tension/compression as much as shear. I saw some scary pics of some shattered dd bullits, the curved parts of the spokes snapped(think they were the morxchin brand?).
I got the AR TT-m just because they had the highest load ratings of the bullit styles, but theyre still a cheapass chinese cast wheel- one took 4 ounces to balance. we machine OEM forged wheels at work, the forged is the way to go- but styling limited and $$$...

edit- heres that pic:
