Default wheel decisions -FRS

I need 2 new front tyres.

I have several options, money isn’t really an issue, the main thing I want is for the car to look good. Do i:

1) Buy 2 new tyres get em fitted, job done.
2) Buy 2 new tyres, get the wheels refurbed silver and have mint standard looking wheels
3) Buy 2 new tyres, get the wheels refurbed a different colour…anthracite, chrome etc?
4) Buy some compomotives and 4 new tyres (CXT's - martoon has given me plenty good price....…save my old wheels as spares

any advice guys. they are going on a Focus RS. i havent seen a focus RS with CXt's on it yet....but i have seen the wheels in the flesh and they are sexual!

if i go for the CXt's should i do standard offset (supplied by reyland and guarnteed to fit) or go for a custom offset and gamble???

opinions?

I'm runnig ET38 on front and ET28 on rear, lowered on H&R's. The rears catch ever so slightly when I have people in the back and I'm cornering hard.

Refurbed standard silver, or get MO's in anthracite.
Standard wheels look a bit odd in grey and black IMO. I've seen one with polished standard wheels on and it was definitely a nay IMO. Lol
