The assumption is that the car manufacturers put out a spec for the tires. Odds are Bridgestone can bring the tires to market for the best price.
This is not a slam on their quality...merely an observation.
Oftentimes, tires are different from market to market because of these economies...

[tireoink] S03's are phenomenal in the rain. I ran full-tread S03's in the downpour at Nationals - they still managed to chirp a bit under hard braking! Pouring rain all the way from Topeka to Chicago on the way home, never saw below 85mph, never even a wiggle from them. I've been using 712's, but never again. [/tireoink]
I couldn't help but laugh at TJ's pix of the GT - at first I thought they were reposts of mine from last year's NAIAS until I looked at the crowd

Very cool rims 
those would look nice especially since your car is black.. Rota makes like perfect replicas of rims... I just bought a set for my gf a couple months back.. replica TE-37's, and they were only 2lbs heavier, but about 2 grand cheaper
As far as tires, I recommend Toyos all the way... I've used FZ4's which is a really sticky tire... but wears down way too fast... probably for street use only with no negative cambers hopefully... T1's are not as sticky as the FZ4's, but its still Z-rated with a higher tire wear rating so it lasts much longer... plus the sidewall of the T1's fold inwards so its not prone to rubbing
Good choice and a great price 
where can i get a set for that price!
