Get the R1 wheels, the 3rd pic.

No, those tires shouldnt rub.

And keep your stock tail lights.

the Tezzaz will look ok if you throw out the altezza center section that they come with and paint your stock one black.

most people say to just retain the stock lights and colormatch the center section.

another option it to grab some NHT Nite-shades black tint spray ($5-8 a can depending on source) and black out the tail lights, if you want the "all black" look, this can be done with either the altezzaz or the stockers.
if you go this route make sure you clearcoat the lights AND the center section at the same time so the clear is even across the whole back and dosent look like a step-off on either side of the center.

i'd say number 2 on the wheels and if you have to do something with your taillights black the stock ones out, or better yet leave them alone, except maybe painting the center.

EDIT: damn you froggy haha we musta been typing at the same time.

i agree with R34. go with the 2nd set and if you do the altezzas, paint match the center.

I like #3. I was thinking of doing tezzas and either painting the lenses clear red, or pulling them apart and painting the inner housing red to give a twist on the stock look. I'm pretty set on doing a led conversion like Azdave and EZ now.

I like the fat-mesh spokes on number one.

I agree with foggy about painting the center section. The one that comes with those lamps looks like complete ass.
