Help with wheel decision!
So Im looking for some wheels and I cant decide if I want bronze/gold or Black with a chrome lip. I have a black car and am going to lower it and add either an amuse lip or oem ap1. Your comments/recommendations are appreciated.
Im looking on the cheaper side (probably Rotas)
Im not into autocross or racing, so I think Id like 18s, either there any reason 18s would be a bad idea? Would 17s be better? Also, Offsets, what do I look for to have a larger lip per say?
These are some I like:

You should post in the wheel and tires section next time, I'm pretty sure you will get more responses there. 
I'm not sure why you would ask which wheels design you should go with. It is all about personal preference, some people look at those wheels and think they are better off in the trash, while some will think they are gold. Go with what you like the most.
I'm not sure about the problems that come along with running 18s, if there are any, but I don't think the S was meant for 18s. I read in magazine that people run into problems with 18s on the S, when driving them hard on the track. I'm not sure if the problems will apply to you since you don't autocross or anything. But others should chime in on it.
But for offsets, the lower your offset the more lip/concaveness you are going to get. But with lower offsets, you are going to have fitment issues. So then you are going to have to roll, and/or pull, and/or flare your fenders, and/or run a lot of negative camber, or get wider aftermarket fenders. I'm no expert but others should be able to help get you the fitments you want.
