New Wheels!
I finally got 'em! 
Kazera FZ-A 17x7.5 w/ Kumho ECSTA SPT 205/45.
Tire Rack is awesome! I'm still breaking in the tires (you know - first 500 miles w/ no sudden accelerations, hard corners....) It's really cramping my style: it seems like I was first at every light today with a Supra beside me, or a Mitsu, or Honda. They all revved up their little POS cars and looked at me... *SIGH. Oh well, they'll still be around in a couple of weeks.
So far I really like Kumhos over my SLites w/ Dunlop 9000 run-flats. Much smoother, quieter. I'll report back after a fewmore hundred miles and I can really push the corners a bit.

Good choice. Looks great. Should have come stock that way!
Keep the tire pressure up about 35 psi
Watch for wear and do rotations front to rear about 4000 miles.
Don't forget to clean your wheels now and then even though they don't show brake dust that much.
The polished lip can be marred by corrosion from brake dust that is left on.
