Default Help with HP Evos

I have a few questions for you guys. First off I have a black 2000 WS6 and I am looking into getting some wheels. I really like the way Evos look on TA's and was wondering what finish you guys think would look best on a black TA (Hyper light, dark, or chrome)? Right now I am leaning towards chrome but I like the dark silver too. Also I am leaning towards 19"x9.5" all around but was also debating 18's up front and 19's in the back or even 18's on all corners what do you guys think? Right now I am at stock ride hight and was wondering how much you guys lowered your cars with the evos and what springs you used? If you are lowered and have LT's what is the clearence like? Sorry for all the questions but I just want some opinions. I know it comes down to what I want in the end but words of wisdom from those who all ready have the wheels is much appreciated.

I really like the way this looks and was wondering if they are 18's or 19's or a combo. They look like 19's all around to me.

Same diameter front and rear without a doubt!

I prefer 18", but some cars can pull of a nice 19" wheel.

id get the hyper lights on your car...18x9's all around. with a 19 your sacrificing way too much ride comfort.
BTW...i recently got the evos in gloss black with a chrome lip which may also be another option for you is you like the black on black look.

This is what Id do, go for 18's on all fours with 1" drop springs. For the headers dont get SLP and you'll be okay as far as clearance goes.

Then for the wheels my picks would be:

Black w/chrome lip would look mean as hell.
Hyper dark would also look great, they'd look much better than the lights.
Chrome would be alright, harder to keep clean for sure.
Hyper light just dont look good imo.
