I hope your wife doesn't park by feel too. My lip has taken a beating. I'm just happy that she never tries to parallel park, and now she is officially banned from trying, with my F14's on the car.

simple solution - tell the wife/GF/Mistress that if she curbs the wheels, you are taking her favorite purse AND pair of shoes and you're dragging them against the curbs. . .after that conversation wifey gets out and checks to make sure she's nowhere near a curb

OP - love the changes

I went with the 18" to keep the ride quality and pothole protection. I should have gone with a slightly larger tire on the back, to fill out the wheel well and make full use of the 10" width.

Personally I love the chrome rings because it fills the gap, but to each his own. I have never had any complaints about them on my car, only compliments!

I love my chrome rings too, leave it on dude, and yes they would just pry off if you wanted that. Get some lowering links and wrap the roof with gloss black wrap. It would look amazing on your beast. Great improvement.
