Black Chrome FR500's on a Black Mach?

I am going to be buying a new set of rims.
I am looking at some Black Chrome FR500's 18x9 front and 18x10 in the rear. Couple of questions!!

One- Does anybody have pics of a similar setup? It should look cool, but wanna see it in place.

Two- Best place to buy them? I have been looking at the ones at Cruzin Concepts, AM is 'sold out'.

Three- What kind of rubber should I look at? And what sizes? I kinda like how the Toyo Proxes 4's look. CC shows the FR500 18x9's matched with 275/35/18 and a 245/45/18. The 18x10's matched with 275/35/18. My biggest complaint with previous tires has been the softness in turns...I don't like the 'boaty' feeling.

Four- If anybody has any comments or suggestions for me, i would appreciate them. I want to be sure i am happy after spending $1,500 bucks!!


Thanks,
Kurt

Re: Black Chrome FR500's on a Black Mach?

that's my car. my black chrome wheels are not as dark as others (i like it that way). i got mine from a member on here but they came from wheel replicas. 275's out back are to small imo, i have 275/35/18 up front and 295/35/18 out back. btw the car is lowered now and looks a lot better that way.
