Wheel Change ?

I am looking at switching out my MCA wheels for the Foose speeds. I am sticking with 18 x 8. I am having a hard time picturing The Foose speeds on, but LOVE the looks of the wheels alone.

Thoughts? Thanks!

But she's springing for the wheels? If so, tips on breaching that subject, please.

She gave me a grand to spend, I have hated the MCA wheels since I took delivery. I love my car, love the Foose wheels.....I suck at visualizing. Good choice?

I will, can't wait. I love the 18s....they are much closer to old school. I bagged the covers, after reading some threads here, I really like how the paint looks with pony decals. I love projects.
