I don't envy you...this is a tough choice ....they both look good.
Maybe someone can photo shop them on a wagon. |

Kinda like Fred and his 2 SS wheels he used to have. LOL!! Remember his old ebay pics.
Stock on one side...and SS wheels on the other.

| Update - I scored a set of perfect Imp wheels with tires for this thing. The tires aren't my favorite, and they're the 27" tall Impala size. Ideally they'd be 28" tall but I'm going to run them until they are used up. By then I hope to find a 255/55-17 that I like. Thinking about these: http://www.onlinetires.com/products/vehicle/tires/federal/255%252F55-17+federal+ss595+102v.htmlThe price is certainly right. probably won't last too long based on that treadwear rating. Overkill for the wagon, but this thing barely ever sees rain, so a nice dry-weather tire makes sense. _________________  |

| If you haven't pulled the trigger... Boss makes a few 18" wheels that are VERY inexpensive. The boss 304 is available in 18x9 w/+14 offset. Perfect fit. Just ask Crovo, I belive he had a set. And My favorite: the Boss 338:  _________________   |
