Lightbulb New STi Wheels!!!!

It is time for me to get new tires and I decided I am going to be adventurous and look at new wheels too. My hope was to upgrade to a 18" wheel yet not pay an arm and a leg, but I think this is a redundant statement. The difficult thing here is I am unsure of several tire and wheel combo's so I am hoping for some opinions here.

**As you can see I still want the 9-10 spoke design (similiar to the stockers) but I am looking for both in the Bronze or Full Royal Sport Bronze Finish.**


1.) Rota P1- these rims are 18x8 (same with as my current 05 wheels)--secondly they are 19.2lbs which according to my research I found to be the same as the stock BBS.

Example:



If you are interested in these here is a link: http://www.subydude.com/osc/product_...1e107ee5580af1

2.) Rota Tarmac 3- I haven't found any specific data on these wheels (meaning weight) however they are 18x8 as well.



For more infor on these wheels and too see the Full Royal Sport Bronze: http://www.subydude.com/osc/product_...1e107ee5580af1

Both these wheels are new so they don't have much street credit yet and I am not sure about pictures......

Major differences I note are the P1 has a nice lip on it (very small deep dish look). Also the P1 doesn't come in Full Sport Bronze, which I am not sure of the difference between bronze.....

I was looking for some opinions on the wheels as well as any experience or pictures you can conjure up. I want to wrap either 235/40 18 or 245/40 18 BF Goodrich KDW's on that which I think will be very nice with handeling, weather, and if I do any autocrossing. :banana: ** Also note I could get Falken RT-615's wrapped on these but I think they will wear to quickly for my liking. Anyone know about these RT-615's?
