Post 18’s for Christmas

Santa has decided he is going to get me some 18s for Christmas this year. I am set on the size (18x8 front, 18x9 rear, or something very close) but do not know what type of rim (5 spoke, 6 spoke, etc.) or offset to get for that specific setup. I will lower it later, so I’m not worried about that now. If you have any advise (ride comfort, any high maintenance stuff) then please let me know, but I’m mostly looking for you to convince me to go with your setup. Pics would be dandy
Thanks!

maybe do like a 9f 10r? as long as the offsets aren't hella high you won't be so sunk. 8f 9r is going to be pretty sunk on our cars.
