Help me pick my new wheels.

First, I have a white 02 WRX (wannabe STI) and I am going to be picking up a set of gold wheels courtesy of Yokohama/Advan next week. Now what should I pick?

My first choice was Advan TCII's but I can only get them in 17x8.5 or 18x7.5, no 18x8.5's for 5x100 offset. *cry*

or Advan RCII's in 18x8.5

or Advan RGII's in 18x8.5

So what would you pick?

I say go with your first choice...the TCII. Sacrifice a little sidewall stiffness for width and get the 17x8.5.

RGII's in 18X8.5 or I'll lose all respect for you and punch you!

Seriously, if I wasnt running the SSRs I would be running those in silver.

Wow. those are nice. I really couldn't figure out which ones i liked better. Plus, since you don't seem to be doing as much real hard driving 18 would look great.
