18s for sure, lowering as well. Otherwise you'll have a huge gap up front and it'll look seriously bad

after you lower it, it makes a world of difference!

18s will always look better. But who am I to say, I never like chrome anyway

Try the Lowenhart BR5. Similar in style, but a lot nicer! That's what I'm after

Not sure about the chrome ones. I do like chrome wheels, but I find myself drawn to chrome wheels about 17" or less with 55+ series sidewalls. The chunkier rubber somehow works better with chromes...ala classic Chevelles, etc. on Cragars. It is a fine line indeed when you go chrome and really low profile between tasteful and ghetto.
