Getting Rid of Pie Pan Rims, but with what?

Scdroptop.....they look great on your FX! I love the chrome against the dark color car. My SC is the very muted Egyptian Sand (gold) and when I put the polished silver next to it, I felt it was a little more reserved like the car. Seeing yours, I can't wait until mine arrive and get installed. I am so over the pie pan look.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! GREAT JOB!
What sizes again? How's the ride?
BTW, mesh wheels are a BEAST to clean sometimes, and these wheels are notorious for collecting brake dust in the little "knuckle" part of where the middle meets the spoke, so I found a great wheel brush at target (red handle, $4.00) that you wedge in between each spoke quickly and it keeps them clean. FYI

My preference was to use all stock parts (so I kept the 18 x 8 rims) while making the car look a lot more aggressive. Now that I see the rims on the car, I'm looking for wheel spacers to bring the wheels out just a little and better fill the fender wells. Another thread suggested 25 offset in the front and 30 in the back. I'm looking for a source of the spacers.
The ride hasn't changed, but I've got a vibration above 70 mph. I used hub centric rings, but have a vibration none the less. I'm going back to the installer first to have him check the balance before changing anything else.
