Well, I've got a flat on my right rear wheel. Currently running on the stock E1 rims with Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 225/50ZR16 tires. This means I have to buy at least two new tires now, so I'm thinking of just ordering new rims and dealing with the spare until they come in if possible, and repairing the Kumhos and eventually using the stock rims for winter wheels/tires. Need suggestions on some real good looking rims for an E1 SVT, found these that I like so far:

I've seen quite a few very good looking rim/tire combos on the SVT's and I'm searching around now. I'd like to keep the total wheel/tire package cost around 1k if at all possible. Many thanks!
EDIT: Some basic questions as well:
What is the minimum acceptable offset for a 17" wheel for an E1 SVT? +40mm? The stock rims are, IIRC, 49mm?
Seems the recommended tire size is 215/45R17's, does anyone have 225/45R17's installed and, if so, rubbing problems?
