Decision and help!

I found some wheels i really like on tirerack. But, the wheel I like more is not on sale for size 18x7.5($275), only the 18x8 is on sale($219). The Kosei K1 TS(silver).

But the Kosei K1 TS(light grey) is on sale for the 18x7.5($229).

I want a lightweight wheel. The 18x7.5 are 16.0lbs. The 18x8 is 17.2lbs.

I am also worried about the 18x8 fitting.

I have a 2006 Si white.

Any help/advice/comments would be appreciated. Its a lot of money no matter what.

18x8 will fit on your car. Make sure you get around a 35 offset. 17.2 is still light and by far better than stock. My 5zigens are around 17lb.s and they make a huge difference.
