Default I dont know what to pick. HELP ME PLEASE!

I am getting new wheels, and I do not know which to pick, its just too hard. So, I will let you help me! How fun! lol. I am torn between the Torq Thrust II's, the Torq Thrust M, Foose Nitrous, those are the three that I have narrowed it down too. I dont know whether to get 17s or 18s. I have always had 18s on my truck and since i've owned this car, 17s just sound small, but i am sure theyd look good. Also, polished or chrome, or even anthracid. My car is white, and it had silver wheels on it when i bought it, and they looked good. So here are your choices Anthracid torq thrust m, polished torq thrust II (18s) ,Foose Nitrous (18's) , or other in the same price range... Help me please !

If your for looks then go with the 18's all around with 10.5 rear. Looks dope man, I just purchased a set of TT2's but 275/40 all around. I figure if I can always by 18x10.5 for the rears when I'm sick on the 275 look.

the bonspeeds are temp. the 20s are just too big for me in the back. I will def be going with at least 10 inches in the rear, i love the look. i just dont know, its too hard lol

I'd say 18" all around. I've got 9.5 in front 10.5 in the rear & think it's just about perfect. Wouldn't mind going a bit wider than 285 in back either!

the Mustang wheels don't do it for me.. sorry. they lack the aggression of the stepped lip and curvier TT2... not to mention, they are already on 32490892304890234 Mustangs from 01-06.

TT2s in 18" =

i dont know if i would be a big fan of the 17/18 combo, i like to stick to the same size, with the exception of the bonspeeds because they are not even mine lol. I think an 18x8 is big enough in the front, looks fine, maybe I am an idiot....

ya i also would want to keep them the same all the way around. its too bad that they make them 18x8. how would 18x10 all the way around be?

the bonspeeds are only 18x8 and 20x9.5 so not wide enough and not really my style, they are for sale though, for the right offer...
