Which black 18x8" wheels for Hawkeye STI with AP 6 Pots ?
I've got a 2007 Hawkeye STI with AP/Cosworth 6 pots on 355mm discs. It currently has Rota G-Force 18x9" ET35 wheels with 225/40x18 tyres so they look quite stretched and stick out a fair bit. I want to change them to 18x8" wheels to improve the handling and reduce tramlining etc, also the rears are very close to rubbing on the arch.
I think I need about 45mm offset to keep clearance over the brakes and avoid any rubbing issues when hitting potholes in compressions.
Struggling to find many options, anyone got experiance using any of these -
Inovit Speed 18x8 ET45
Calibre GTR 18x8 ET43
Any other options ? Not looking to spend a big number as I just got the car.

I would rather stick with Rota but I can't find any wheels that are 18x8 in black (without a red lip) with an offset in the 40-48 range. I don't fancy going more that £1000 for OZ or other top brands.
