    Help me pick out wheels

    Figured I'd start a separate thread so this isn't buried in my 50 page garage thread.

    Looking at wheel options.... i'm going with an 18" so I can run ~5.5" backspace and not have to worry about tie rod interference. Ideally i'd like 8.5" wide with 5.5" backspace to help run wider tires (keep them a bit further from the firewall). NOTE that I'm looking for a wheel to run with. 5.5" lift (modified superlift) and probably 305/60/18 tires.

    The rig (obviously pre-superlift):





    Ultra Crusher: 18x8.5 with either 5.2" (+10mm) or 5.75" (+25mm) backspace



    Fuel Throttle: 18x9 with either 5.5" (+14mm) or 5.75" (+20mm) backspace



    Gear Alloy Dominator: 18x9 5.4" backspace (+10mm)




    Its hard to find wheels I like in the needed width/backspace. Especially since manufacturers don't seem to have details of their wheels readily available.

    Feel free to comment with opinions on what you think will go best with my rig. I'm going with the "classy but capable" look.... the XK cleans up nice, but looks like it means business.

    And if you guys happen to find other wheels to suggest, let me know!


    EDIT:

    To save about 4 pages of reading.... i'm near positive I'll be ordering these:
