Which Wheel, Help Me Pick!

Alright guys and gals. I am ready to upgrade from the nice, but not for me stock Evo IX wheels. I have been struggling with some choices and am requesting the help of the experts of show and shine to guide me in the right direction . First the car (sorry for the camera phone shot), '06 Evo IX RS WW:


My first choices and my favorites are the BBS SE Diamond Black and the same wheel but powder coated Matte/Semi-Gloss black. My next thought would be towards a pair of Rotas:

17X9 Rota DPT (Open to colors)


18X8.5 Rota SVN (open to colors)


Besides these I am not sure. I am limited by money and would not like to spend anymore then $1800 between wheels and tires so keep that in mind. Feel free to throw me some ideas, I need 'em guys .

Those Rota DPT's look wicked in that bronze color. My opinion though

Rota's are known on the import scene as replicas. They remake pretty much any expensive wheel style and sell it for much cheaper. I'd stick with the BBS'.

Just my .02

BBS's in black .. but do realize that you weaken the forged wheel when you powder coat them with that much heat...
