HELP! Can't decide which wheels to get for LY EVO

Hopefully this post is in the correct section. I want to get some rims for my car, but I just can't decide which rims to get.
Please make suggestions, recommendations, and ideas. If possible please post pictures of the listed rims on a yellow evo.
And note which COLOR rims look good on the yellow as well.

All nice choices but I voted RE30. light, strong, RACING wheel, and darker to match but contrast the bright yellow.

Most people would probably pick the RE30s... get ready to shell out a lot of money for them though.

I love the look of both RE30 and Advan RS.
If your funds permit, how about RE30s in 18X9.5 +28 offsets in flat black or gray?
Granted you would need to roll or shave the rear fenders.
But I think it is one of the sickest wheel/tire combos.
Plus, going with 9.5 width and +28 offsets, no one would mistake them for SVNs.

If I got these wheels they wouldn't be used for racing so light weight doesn't really matter. I'm using these just for show and daily driver. I have rpf1 for track. I kind of want to stay away from bronze or dark colored wheels cause they end up looking dirty on the yellow. I've had mixed reviews regarding gold on yellow. Silver is ok but it doesnt stand out. This is a toughy.

I plan on running either 18x9 or 18x9.5 depending on which size is available for each type of wheel. Not sure which offset to run though. Some people run staggered offsets and some run about a +29 all around. I want the wheels to sit flush with the front and rear fenders with the most aggressive stance without having to run spacers. Is that too much to ask for? =)

I like the re30's very much but at the same time I really like the GTR face. That's why i'm in this dilemma. The gtu's have a huge lip. I just can't decide. It would be easier if there were pictures of all these wheels on a yellow car.
