I was going to get OE Wheels black with machined face 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 on my T/A but had to spend the money else where. Frankly, I dislike chrome on a non dark color car, but it's really your choice.

I think the Black Y2k DD would look really good on your car also.

i really do think that without dark windows or tinted tails/markers the chrome will look good and actually better than what you posted since he has black on his car. well this isnt what you asked for but what my car used to look like in first pic and w/t the chrome y2ks i just sold to get more ideas on white with chrome wheels

I say black and throw some dark tint on her. That would really clean it up!

275 is my preferred. but you can go up to 285...just have to keep an eye on the air pressure and all that good stuff..245-265 should be ok and probably reccommended
