Work Emotion XT-7...Matt Gray Silver or Work Metal Buff?
So I'm planning on getting a set of Work Emotion XT-7's for my '07 BSP tC, but I can't decide on whether to get it in Matt Gray Silver or Work Metal Buff.
I just started working on the car with a few minor mods, but my tires are running low on tread, so I figure I might as well get new rims with the new set of tires. I'm considering lowering it after getting the rims, but... I live in the city of "brotherly love" and roads are absolutely terrible out here...
The rims are gonna be 18x7.5 +35 with 225/40/18 tires.
I'm kind of leaning towards Work Metal Buff b/c I feel that it'll contrast the car better, but then again chrome is for ballin' cars...=D
Any insight would be appreciated
, and I'm still open to other rims/ideas. Thanks!
Stock '08 BSP for reference:

Edit: Minus the blue lugs...I plan to get black ones.

Thanks for all the input so far guys!
Originally, I was looking for an 18x8, but the XT-7's only come in 18x7.5 or 18x8.5. The 8.5's are harder to find, and the few sites that do offer the 8.5's in a 5-100 pattern charge an additional $150 per wheel for WMB (making them ~$500+/wheel)...instead of some other sites that I've found for the 7.5 that consider WMB a "standard color" charging ~$410/wheel w/ FS. I'm not too strict on my budget, but it's still something to think about. I'll be looking around more for a 8.5 at a better price. Thanks!

if you can afford it, get the metal buff. i have xd-9's in the regular matte gray and i HATE it. i rattlecanned them a darker color a couple months after i got the wheels with intentions of powdercoating later down the line to get them glossy. the only reason why i got the matte gray finish to begin with is because the wheels were on sale.

Another question...
I'm considering a trd drop. Going with the 18x8.5's, the offsets available are in +46, +38, +32, and +25. Which offset would get me flush or near flush with the fender & wouldn't have any rubbing issues? +38? And what tire size would be good? 235/35/18?
