want new wheels for my 07MSC

After seeing many options and the way some of you have outfitted (new wheels and/or lowered) their new MCS's, I'm planning to fill the wheel gap on my MCS with some more wheel and/or lowering. Currently my Deuce has oem 16x6" spokes with decent performance tires, but I think I'll take them off and save em for winter driving. I'm looking to go to 17 or 18" with performance in mind (tire and wheel), but it has to stay civil on the road. any recommmendations? I like black spokes, the look and performance of the 7.5" width, and the car looks better slightly lowered and with wider tires. Please weigh in, with pics and size suggestions, thanks!

well, they are 17x7, not 17x7.5, but we've had nothing but good things to say about my wife's wheels (and they are black, which you mentioned). I'd definitely recommend staying with 17" or smaller, 18's will lose performance and add tire expense and weight in a hurry.
