In 18", the Prodrive PFF7s are probably your best bet. Light, strong, easy to clean and look good. There are replicas out there, but not sure of the quality.
Stick to 225/40x18 or 225/35x19. There aren't the same issue with rubbing that there were with the classics - Prodrive ensured that basic design was capable of accomodating usefule tyre sizes without problems.

Thank you for that input so i am pretty safe going for 19" then they should fit over the Brembos ok?
What about the offset? What should i be looking at there some say anything between 40 to 55?
Any ideas?

Craig,
not. Not all 19s will clear the Brembo calipers, as it depends a lot on the design of the spokes. There's a thread here that lists all the wheel known to clear the Brembo calipers:

They don't list the PFF7s, but they are available for 05 model with the larger PCD.
The SSR GT7-H is very similar to the PFF7 design, but in a 19 inch rim. Have a lok on the www.tirerack.com website, enter your cars details and you can see how each design looks on your car.
