In my opinion (and what I notice in SoCal, one of the largest import scenes in the country), dark wheels with chrome lips are played out.
I mean, it's common to see a soccer mom driving a Benz SUV or the CEO rolling in an Audi still sporting that combo. Most of the cars I see with that wheel design are now Neon SRT-4s and early 2000 3-series.
Time for a new fad (and gawd I'm hoping the dark headlight/taillight scene goes soon as well--ghetto).

With roads as bad as they are here, i save my money for under the hood and don't go cheap where it counts :-)
And dumped?no. But it will be dropped soon so the wheel gap goes bye bye

Ahhh!!! I'm so torn between 18x9.5 or 18x10.5! Of Course I want the most concave so I know 10.5 would be the best choice, but I don't want the tires sticking out like crazy!
What kinda of camber would I need in order to sit flush? Oh btw Nice car! Expecting to get the same exact wheels for my WW after taxes! woot woot!

Not sure what the protocol would be for 10.5s, but I would say +22 w/ a bit more camber to run 275s, or go a bit flush and use 265 tires. Rolled fender would probably be a must.

Thanks! 
Well, the TE37s you want for the 9.5 is +22 offset. You can pull off +12 easily for more concaveness. Camber for 9.5 +12 w/ 265 tires should be around -2.3 or -2 all around, and it should be good. No fender modification. I'm running on Eibach Pro Kit, which is one of the more aggressive drop springs.
