So it's time for me to get some new wheels. I have decided on the Rota Sub-zero's. At first I had my mind set on some White sub-zero's 17"x7.5" however, I found another color that looks super sexy... Mmmmm, they also have a royal black with a silver polished lip. Oh, let me also add that I have a white car. Anyway, here's where the problem comes in. I think the royal black with the polished lip would look sweet on my car but they only come in 18" and I'm not sure that I want 18's.

So which do you guys think would look better on a white car. The white subzero's (17x7.5) or the royal black with the polished lip (18x7.5)

If you want to check out the wheels you can see them here: www.jaydm.com

And it looks like both wheels have a 45mm offset. Should that be ok? Will they stick out at all with either 225/45/17 or 225/40/18 tires (depending on the wheel I choose)?

I think I'm stressin cause if I'm going to do this, I need to do it now since I need new tires and have a leak in one due to a nail I just found sticking in one tire and I don't want to drive on it much longer. :(

Maybe I should just get both! }( j/k. Damn... why must the black only be 18's. :(

...and if I get white I think I'm going to have to clean them constantly to keep them looking nice, and I know that won't last cause i'm a lazy bastard. What to do, What to do.

I know that I would be happy with either, I'm just hoping that some opinions will help me make a decision.

Oh, and does the ride get that much worse going from 17" wheels with 215/45/17 tires to an 18" with a 40series tire? Just curious, I have 17's right now and was wondering how much of a difference I would notice if I did end up getting an 18" wheel.
