ok, guys. i currently have 17 inch motegi mr7s in white and i'm getting tired of them. mainly the style is played out and i've seen tons of civics and accords in town with the same rims (even in white) and i've been wishing i had gotten 18s since i got my rims.
ok, so im looking for an 18 inch rims with 3 main aspects, and i'm having trouble finding one that fits them all.
1: a slender "smooth" 5 spoke design. meaning the spoke is flat, with out any ridges or lines in it. also, no label in one of the spokes.
2: 7.5 or 8 inch width (so i can fit a 225 tire on it. 225/35/18 is damn near stock size) and between 35-40 offset (obviously, so i dont look like im offroading).
3: resonable weight for an 18 inch rim and a reasonable price (not too much more than 200/rim, i can give a little, but no crazy prices).
ok, heres 3 rims ive run across and then ill tell you why they havent quite fully got m approval.

this rim has the style i want (5 slim smooth spokes). however it has the label on one spoke. its got a reasonable weight and price but it only comes in 7 inch wide thus i cant fit a 225 tire on it.

this rim is the exact style i want, looks great, no label on any spokes, "smooth" slim spokes. it also comes in a 18x8 with a 35 offset so itll fit the 225 tire and on the car well. the downside, a pricetag of around 450-500 dollars. im not that rich.

this rim has the 18x7.5 width, a decent price and weight, and the right style. 5 slim spokes, no label, but it has the little indention down each spoke, and i want completely flat, smooth spokes.
i know i'm being picky as hell, but i wanna make sure i'm happy with my next wheel purchase, and i know what i want. if anyone can give me a rim suggestion, or anyway i could alter one of the 3 rims i've listed to make my approval, it would be greatly appreciated.
