Question Keep TTIIs or go for something different?

I'm looking for some opinions on wheels. As some may have seen, I currently have American Racing TT2's (18x8 front / 18x10) rear with chrome centers and polished barrels. While I like the way the wheels look on the car, I'm considering something different. I would love to go nuts and splurge on some nutty $$ wheel combo but with the roads in NJ, I think a middle of the road wheel would suit me just fine. The TT2s are pretty heavy as well so I think a new wheel will help with all aspects of driving other than cruising. Someone has offered me a good price for my current setup so this has me thinking.

I like the Fikse FM-5, CCW SP505/500 but they are very very pricey. As you can tell, I'm into a 5 spoke design. The more I see the Weld RT-S in larger sizes, the more I am liking them. I have them as 15's for my drag setup and I'm pleased with the quality. I would go with a 18x9-9.5 front and a 18x10-10.5 rear with whatever wheel I choose.

Here are a few shots from those running a similar combo.



Narrowed rear on this one which I won't have



These are 18x11 on all four corners. Fitment isn't perfect
