i dont think you can make a final decision until you see those rims on the car..maybe someone who's good at photoshop? but i think those 18" ones would look really nice as well as the 17" ones.
Those are both SSR Comp knock offs, so they will look fine. You can find several pics of them here or go over to TireRack and see them on the car.

IMHO, if you really want to feel an advantage over the RF tires, stick with 16" wheels. I went from the OEM 16" RFs to 17" 205/45s and though the traction advantage was huge, the ride improvement was marginal. I later picked up some 16" SSR knock offs w/Hankook RS2's in 225/45-16, and the ride is over top better than the 17s or the RFs.

I looked into 5 spokes for my MINI, ended up not being a big fan of that style. IMO 6 Spoke looked bettter.
and a 38MM offset looks sweet.......no spacers either. If you go to 36MM you may have rubbing issues with fenders.
These are - 16" Enkei Perf. ES6's - 38 MM offset with 195/50/16.
