I dunno, I just don't see the issue with rolling the fenders. You're gonna rub on the plastics anyway if you go any lower or run 255's.
As for the STI pics, I dunno, I like lippy wheels. I wouldn't do it since I have to cut up the fenders, but still.

His aversion to rolling his fenders (I believe) stems from th fact that he has a low mileage (I think), no daily driven, limited edition CR, and he would like to retain it's resale value is and when a time comes that he needs to sell it. I get his point of view, I also get rolling your fenders and running the widest possible wheels with the super fresh concave faces.
Both sides of that argument have their merits. I personally am of the opinion that if you're willing to track your car and possibly write it off as a total loss on day than should just roll the fenders and run the wheels that you want with as much tire as you can, but again, that me. Retaining your cars resale value is also an important goal for some people. That's why mine never leaves the garage.

This guy started off wanting a "standard fitment" wheels for his CR. All of his friends were like "hey, buy some aggressive fitment wheels" so he did. Then he hit a big bump and messed up his fenders so decided to by a widebody kit to fit the wheels and cover up the messed up fenders. Moral of the story? Buy wheels that fit your car or this could be you! Lol, j/k.

If they are track only wheels and you don't plan on upgrading brakes, there is nothing wrong in going with the TR motorsport C3 17x9 +63s. They are well built (Enkei MAT process) and cheap. Not awesome looking or anything but get the job done. I have them.

Wait, wait, what?
You started a public thread to ask for opinions on which wheels to get, and after input from everyone have decided to keep your final choices on the DL...
I don't know why but that seems so counter intuitive. Regardless of which option you choose you're going to end up with something that's incredibly popular and fairly common due to the options and criteria you have laid out, what the point of keeping that a secret?
