I think it does seem to have some "bling" with the rims on her, but 9" wide on the rears would really have hit the spot.

Please spare me the grief. I guess it matches the 6" chrome stormwater tail pipe lol.What kind of paint do people seem to use, acrylic laquer or enamel? I've heard of people brush painting them but I would assume the one's done properly are a spray pack enamel with good heat tolerance.

The 45 profile in 18" may be too large diameter.The tyres I have on it now are 235/40R18 but I do notice the extra bumps with the 40 profile rather than the 45 profile on the 17" stock rims and tyres.
