Looking for Recomendation/Suggestions

I own a Black Cayman S, and I have been searching several months for a good set of rims that can fulfill my requirements. I have been searching long and hard, but I am still having some troubles and I am now looking for help or recommendations by any member. Here are my requirements:

1. Must be Gloss black with a Chrome/Polished lip
2. Must be 18", so that I can save some green and use my factory tires
3. Looks are important

These are the things that I am looking for in a wheel set. The hardest part for me was the 18" requirement because I have found a lot of nice wheels, but they are usually 19". Anyways, if anyone can help me, that would be greatly appreciated. And if you could post pics that would be awesome.

looks are very personal. maybe show us which 19" wheels you found that look good in your opinion - and we can go from there.

Well, I am really open for just about anything. What I really like in a wheels is an open on, where you can see the calipers. I like five spokes, or split five spokes a lot too. I have attached some picks of a few of my favorites that I could find really quickly. Once again, any suggestions will help.

Thanks

What are your expectations on the lip size? an 18" wheel looks tiny if you go with a larger lip.

Thanks KS-CS
I checked out that website, and they have a lot of nice wheels. The only one that really peaked my interest was the HRE 597R. Its a nice looking wheel, but I haven't decided if I want a wheel to look that aggressive or if I want a more elegant wheel.

As for more information:

I think at least 2 inch lip would be nice on the rear would be nice.
