Default Need help with picking a set of 18x11 wheels.

Ok, I've searched, and looked around, and need some help and oppinions of wheels.

I currently have a set of Ruff 278s in 19x9.5 on all four corners (for sale by the way, click the link in my sig) and need to get some more traction and want to go to an 18x10.5 or 11 rear wheel so I can run a 305/30/18 or 315/30/18 rear tire.

I do NOT want any corvette replica wheel, and would like to stay sub $3000 for the four wheels. In front I want to run a 18x9 wheel as well.

So here's what I'm thinking.

1. Fikse Profil 13s, they are unique, and would look good.
2. CCW 505 which is very similar to what I have now, but I'm not sure how much.

What else? I'd probably stay with a polished lip and powder coated center as it makes life easier with maintenance.

So, what else?

Suggestions? True Forged maybe?

Thanks guys.

I went with CCW Classics, with titanium anodized centers not only for the sexyness, but the easy maintenance and different look from the usual polished or black. I had right around 3,000 in them with the anodizing and shipping and everything said and done.

I switch them out between my two Cobras. Sizes are 18x11.5 rears with 345/30/18 G-Force radials and 18x9.5 fronts with 265/35/18 KWD II's.

They do look good.

I may have my wheels sold, which frees up some cash for a wheel purchase.

I like alot of the true forged wheels as well, and there isn't to many f boss that run them, honest my favorite wheel out is the black weld rts, they look sick in the 17s,18s. But can't go wrong with what your looking for

True Forged have a few nice options for birds. I'd give Tony a shout...he has knack for nailing nice wheel combos.
