Default C6 Chrome rims - What size?

Well I'm now looking to buy a set of C6 replica chrome rims for my C4. Similar to these - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8010105006&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

I'm not sure if I should go with 18x9.5 all he way around or put the 10.5's in the back and the 9.5 in the front. I currently have the 9.5 all the way around with the Z51 package. Rotating the tires I guess can be a plus but I'm not that concerned about that. Also I’m moving from a 17 inch wheel to an 18 inch wheel. I don’t think they will look awkward but I have seen this combo on a C4 yet.

Pro - Cons?

Those are some awesome looking rims.

But won't the 10.5's stick out of the back?

I think the 18's will look awesome.

I'm still a big fan of having all four the same size so you can rotate. But that's just me and you said it wasn't a factor to you.

I know that some people have run 17"/11" wide rims at all 4 corners without a problem. I don't know if that will work with the 18"/10,5" rims.
