Find some new wheels for me please...

So I love the car, love the way it looks, and it's exactly how I wanted it. But (there's always a but...) it seems like EVERYONE with a black S197 around town has the same type of wheel setup as me, black bullits. The latest issue of MM&FF has a 92 Notch on the cover with some BBS RK wheels , not made in the correct offset for my car. So assuming that I'm kind of leaning towards a silver/polished/satin wheel package, can someone help me find something I might like? I'm not a big fan of chrome, but could go that route if it looked right.

Tire sizes are in my sig, and it's imperitive that I keep my current tires for 2 reasons:

1. They have a ton of life left in them.
2. I will have very little life left in me if my wife finds I bought new tires to go with the new rims that I don't need.

I really like those BBS's, but don't like the ones available for the S197 because they have too many spokes. Some wheels don't look good on black cars, those are one type.

So I implore you all, help me find some 18x9 / 18x10 rims for my car so I can be a little more unique. Thanks!

I would LOVE to see what those gunmetal ones looked like on an Alloy! I just might photochop them to see.

Sorry I can't help as far as wheels, I'm kind of partial to the bullits, so I'm not sure which one's I'd go with if I didn't go with bullits, well possibly the CTR replicas, but it sounds like there might be to many spokes for you.

Have you thought about Steeda Ultralights? They are a fairly simple 5 spoke design, but I think they tend to be fairly popular as well.

I am going with GT500 chrome replicas from OECONCEPTS.COM. Same sizes you are currently running. Ordered through my friend's tire shop. Less than 700.00 for all 4 wheels. Going to run 255/45/18 up front, 295/40/18 rear.
