S2000spoon,
Great color combo...that picture is going in my archives.
The rear 18x8.5 offset is +50mm (I would perfer it to be +55mm though).
The front 18x7.5 offset is +48mm.
I assume you are using the 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 Toyo T1-S??? Great tire selection! Perfect for wet weather conditions and decent performance attributes in my books.
Mark_12345,
I really like the TE37's. I only wish that they were 18x8 (+55mm) and 18x9 (+60mm). 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 look really good on those dimensions (I am using 215/40/18 and 245/35/18). It's o.k. though, these are my street wheels for all weather...and the lighter the better for highway racing.

18x7.5 +48mm & 18x8.5 +50mm ($550-$580 a piece)
Decent 245/35/18 or 255/35/18 ($218-infinity and beyond)
Decent 215/40/18 or 225/40/18 ($150-infinity and beyond)
Depending on what kind of tires you pick...you will be around the $3,000.00 range buddy.

RT & S2000spoon,
Center caps will fit the fronts but not the rear.
I recommend painting the exposed center (it will start t rust) the same color of the wheel or black...it looks better that way.
I have the stock wheels on right now...but you can see that I painted the center bolt piece the same color as my TE37's. I got so use to the look without the center cap...I left them off of my stock powdercoated wheels:
