I like both the Livewire and SuperSpokes and I'm leaning toward the brushed and cleared centers with polished hoops but have considered the titanium coated centers as well. I think black and gunmetal are too dark for my tastes. Just looking for opinions, thanks !
here is a pic of my car:

Livewires:

SuperSpokes
18 inch or larger?

Sizes i will comment on all day. And that thing is screamin for 18s / 19s. I think 18s on the rear will look to small.

And I will go out on a limp and say were it mine I would do a colored center also. Expecially if the black viynl top is staying

I do think that 18/19's would look good.

edit: not way over budget, checking out pricing on 18/19's now, looks like Nitto has a 335 30 19 that is priced pretty good.

The top is staying as is. That's what got me thinking of doing black centers but not sure I like that look. Titanium is highly under consideration though.

When you say colored, you referring to black or titanium?

Vinyl top is awesome,love it.
My vote is no to black centers,would get lost,even just sitting again...IMHO.

Gunmetal or smoked titanium all day long and I would not do a 17/18 combo,fronts will look too small.If it was my car,I would consider either 18's all around or a 18/19 combo...that would look slick.

Now...which Rushforth wheel to choose? Personally,the Livewire isn't my favorite choice because of the sharp straight spokes but hey...your car,your decision.Only you can answer that.
Have you considered Fuel's?

Oh...and no exposed hardware on this car either...

I am highly considering the 18/19 combo now, its really not a whole lot more after doing some research, just will have to go with a different tire then i was originally planning.

Definitely hidden hardware and I think gunmetal is still a tad dark, so leaning toward Titanium at the moment. The fuels look nice but I'm down to livewire or superspokes.

again, thanks everyone for your comments, they've really helped!

18/19's! Nitto NT05 335/30/19 tire in the rear. We sell a ton of them to guys in the same situation as you. Give me a call and I will put a package together with the Nitto tires mounted and balanced shipped to your door.
