To be honest I think the OZ wheels are the best looking, albeit very expensive.
I am not sure if the Superturismo is still made, if yes go for it, its absolutely gorgeous in gold!!
Otherwise a nice set of P1`s???

Can't really go wrong with SuperTourismos, SuperLeggeras (i have these), the OZ P1 wheels or Speedline Turinis (my personal fave atm).
Go for 18's though.

18" P1 with 225/35/18 tyres
a bit bumpy and they tend to tramline a bit, but if you've got the funds go for 18" over the 17". especially with this type of alloy, the 18" doesn't look as big as some other 18"'s but makes the 17" look tiny if they're beside each other!
just make sure to get the right offset or you may have fitment probs (18's go straight on with the correct offset/tyres)
have fun lookin'
edit to say there's a group buy going on for these wheels if you choose them!

no £ as yet, but i have a supplier in the US that estimates approx $585 ($25/rim shipping) each (that's for 18x7.5J). so around £330 a rim not including import duty.

In the right (or close) offset with 215/35 tyres there shouldn't be an issue.
My ET48 SL's with 215/35 Toyos and -50mm HR's have never once caught the arches.

50mm HR's (I think) are 50mm lowered springs - Mine (the red with the 18s on in page 1) has lowered Eibachs and I suffer from 0 arch problems.
Offset is 45mm and 215/35s
You need 215/35s or 225/35s to keep the rolling diameter of the tyre near identical to standard, so that the speedo is reading OK. You may need arch rolling for 225s but 215s are 'fairly' commonplace.

What size are your RS GT's and did you consider the sliver before the antrachite? I have to choose and I'm not sure.
Yours look cool btw
Could you give me a rough price idea?

Had the from TSL - around 1300 with the Toyos (215/35x18) - The wheels are 18x7.5
I looked at the hyperblack first, but ended up with the gunmetal, which I'm pleased with.
I didn't look at silver, as my original wheels were silver and I wanted something different for my 1300 quid !
Glad you like it (the car)
