Hotswaps or Corse Revs

I saw the other persons post about Hotswaps being super cheap and I'm considering 2 wheels they have on clearance....the Hotswap or Momo Corse Rev.

I'm asking if either of these wheels would look good on my LS? I have Sportlines so it's already lowered.

Here's my car:




And here are the wheel choices:

17" Hotswap:


18" Corse Rev Anthracite:


18" Corse Rev Silver:


I'm asking which ones you would prefer to see on my car? I'm not sure which one I like most...I know the Hotswaps aren't great and are pretty much played out, but oh well, for the price, I can finally get rid of my steelies.

I would buy something different, but of the two you posted the Corse Revs in Anthracite are the best.

Thanks for the posts so far...I like the idea of the CF look to the Hotswaps, but overall I don't like the wheel that much (just thought if I ever wind up with a CF hood/trunk, maybe they would work, but I don't plan on putting that much into my car).

I will consider the anthracite wheels a little more, I was leaning toward the silver, but since a lot of people are saying anthracite, maybe that will be where I go.

I'll have to do some searching here for tire sizes in 18" though, I know if I bought 16's, I'd go 225/50, on a 17 I'd do a 225/45, would a 225/40 work on those? If so, I can get a great deal on tires as well.
