Default what 18" rim to get.... need help

Making the story short: I want to get some nice rims for my SS. I just hate my stock wheels. The only problem is that I want to go with 18" - not 19" as most of you. I will not be able to lower my car (unless I change my house) - cause my driveway is not flat. With a stock suspension I am barely making it without scratching my car

I did some research... and the more I look at the rims the more confused I am. My options were:
- Nismo /seems like everybody has them, looks plain
- Sparco D spec stage 2 /didn't see them on the SS, and i am not sure if 18" wont look crappy
- Konig trouble /really like this rim, but they dont have those in 8.5x and 9.5x; quality sucks
- Enkei rp03 /something is missing
- 5ziegen FN01R-C /don't like the gold-inside

I want to spend around 2.5k for rims + tires. I just bougt my car like a week ago - and there is so many things to be done...

If you have seen some nice 18" on a SS please post a picture. I would really appreciate this.

I just got some 18's on mine although it's yellow not SS but I think with the anthracite color I got it would still look really good on your color. Best of all this wheel/tire package can be had for around $1600 or less. See my sig for brand and sizes. Here's a pic:

My Wheels look PLAIN Well I 'em anyway. Light, and handle great with my Dunlop SP9000s. My coupe is Diamond Graphite which is Silverstone to you guys.

With my RS*R springs, the wheels on my car look larger now. tires are cheaper too.

I LOVE my Konig Troubles. I think I am going to move up to 19" in the same style. Endless Compliments I swear!

Admitedly not the highest quality or lightest wheel out there
