New Set of Rims and Tires

I am in the market for another set of tires after the 040s have gone completly bald in the rear after 15000 miles(3 rotations, 1 alignment) and wanted some new rims as well. The stock ones are pretty badly scratched and I don't like the look of them. I am looking for something with a total cost of somewhere around 1200, if that is possible. I looked at some enkeis and really liked a few of their rims. As for tires I don't know because I don't know which rims would fit which tires. If I didn't get new rims it would be ecstas cuz they are dirt cheap but I haven't found rims that fit that size that I like.

Any suggestions? I like these so far:

http://enkei.com/RacingSeriesSpecs/RPF1.html

I know there is some member on here who has the exact same body setup as me, same color, and has the rpf1s I think and I liked the look. I think his sig said he had 255s on F and R.

Are the RP-F1s TPMS compatible? I don't think I've heard of anyone getting TPMS on them and for some people that's a deal breaker, not sure if that's the case with you. Me, I'd love the RP-F1s in a 18x8 or 18x8.5 size that would fit well. I don't plan to lower my car anytime soon so I can't really run the 18x9.5 and the other wheels have too low of an offset.

^^I saw those two Missy and really liked them a lot but aren't they heavy or expensive? They must be expensive for 07s.

^^ I like the look of those and think they would look nice on an 8. Im just thinking that 145 a piece sounds really cheap and they don't mention weight on them either.

Didn't know that. I wish I could work three days a week.

I'll be shipping the lines out either tomorrow or Monday.
