Default new alloys but which ones?

Hi all

I have an 03 Blobeye WRX in WR Blue. I am in need of 4 new tyres however my man maths has calculated that taking the opportunity to upgrade to 18" wheels by buying a wheel and tyre package would be financially better value.

I would love a set of these however can not afford them so can someone suggest some good alternative brands that are cheaper but still good quality?

http://www.prodrive.com/products_level2.html?id=31&p=12

I am also not sure whether I want to get silver or gunmetal grey so what do you all think??

Cheers
Gary

I was thinking similar today,my tyres are fine,but i,ve been fancying new wheels,and it does seem to make more sense getting the whole lot,i,m thinking of selling my Speedline Turinis 8x18 in anthracite,so i dont know if they,d fit your car anyway,its the hassle of posting etc that puts me off,and ebay at times is just a pain,i,ve been thinking of doing it for ages,but just cant make a decision
