Default Which wheel do you think?

I can't decide between these two wheels. Which one do you think would look better on SOM TA. I was thinking of chrome or hyper silver and getting the center powdercoated the same color as the car. Also what off set should I go with for 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. They offer 20mm, 35mm, and 42mm. I would start a poll but I'm new and unsure how to. http://www.need4speedmotors.com/inde...ROD&ProdID=319

278, but I would say the 279 if it had 5 spokes.

I'm not sure about the two in the poll. But look on ebay. It's made by the same company. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-CA...QQcmdZViewItem

278's are what i would choose, but someone on here has the 279's on a CE TA and its badass looking. def go w/ the 18x9.5's all around w/ 275 rubber so you can rotate them. no sense in going w/ a 8.5 rim on these cars.

I was thinking the same color as the car or going for black. But I just want to do the center only.
