Talking 18's or 19's

Ok so i narrowed my wheel selection down to either

http://www.wheelselections.com/ruffracing.php

the 278 chrome or black in 18 or 19's

I cant decide which to go with. I know either will look good but i can only buy one set. So which ones would look better on a blacked out Firebird Formula with TA body?

The black on black with a polished lip? Or straight chrome on a black bird?
I like them both!!!! 18's or 19's I like them both!!!

My car is not track ready so this is mainly a street car till i get my mods done.

19's look good on TA's. I would say tires cost more but if you are getting those rims what a few more bucks. Either way you go 278's + F-body = eye candy.

My vote is for chrome 19's

Money isnt an issue so the higher cost for 19's arent a problem. I just didnt know how that small of rubber on our cars look.

Are those the 280 series? or are they even ruff racing wheels?

I looked at the 280 series which look very close to those and i liked them just as much as the 278's.

If selling, how much do you want for them? pm me a price

Thanks
