The best wheels for autocross
The Sparco Viper R in gun metal better to call almost black. The Pure Spirits you liked are a 3 pc wheel so they cost a pretty penny. The Buddy clubs are pretty cheap however.

If you want real 3 piece wheels, get BBS. they cost about $500 each are light as the Kodiaks but are super strong. I can probably get them if you are interested.
Bad news the type CR R/H won't clear brembos
. Buddy Club QF is the lightest they sell. They weight 14.77 lbs but you will have to get them in 18 x 9 +35 at $2066.00 The PII which will be heavier will run $1790.00 for 18 x 8 +35.

If it makes any difference, the top WRXs in STX seem to favor the Enkei RF-1 17x7.5, not sure if they make a wider rim (since you'd probably be in ESP and not a street tire class), and my guess is that 17s will be more favorable for the Evo in autocross than 18s. That's my .02
edit: if you need 18s to clear upgraded brakes, then maybe 18s would be better.
Forget I said anything, I'm going to go play with my Lancer
