Help a wheel PKG decision!

Guys and girls, I need a help for a 18x7.5 (235/40/18) wheel pkg decision. Did the search and Wheelmax.com seems to be the cheapest place to go. My car is black. WHich one??? Any other suggestion and where to get??
R/H C2
R/H C3
R/H Z5000 (hyperblack, black or sliver?)
R/H CP8 (black, sliver or bronze?)
HP EVO

btw, since my car is stock height, these wheels shouldn't be any offset worried for my car, right??

I choose the R/H C3, but those HP EVOs are tight too. If I had a 2nd gen I would do 19's though

I like either of the first two if I had to choose. The third one looks too flimsy and cheap, can't see the forth one. The last one is really ugly - IMO.

Overall, though, they're not my taste... since I paid good money for my CLS 6sp with all the CT mods, I wouldn't cut corners with these inexpensive rims. I prefer something from Volk Racing like TE37s or LE37s or CE28Ns...

Do the RH Evolutions come w/enough offset? Don't we need +45 or more w/7.5" wide rims? Other than that, and the time commitment to keep the mesh design clean, they are very nice.

thinking get either RH C2 or HP EVO.... so RH can't fit my car?? Car is stock height and what's the best offset i should go?

Jon Bon Bonachinballs, as you've mentioined be4, as far as quality HP EVO is great. how heavy are they...a lot more than stock rim???

any thought is appreciated.

Any of the RH Evo line in 18x7.5 will fit the CL as they only come in +42 offset - running a 225/40/18. Just be aware that rolling with this combo, you'll lose approx. 1/2" of ride height vs. your stock 17" combo.

The third ones down, which ever RH those are, tight, make sure to get some rotors also.

I like the HP Evo. HP also has that rim in chrome...which would look pimp on black. I called them a few weeks ago to find out the offset on those Evos in 19s and it was 38mm...which sucked cause it would rub like crazy with my Eibach kit. I'm not sure how it would be on stock springs, but I wouldn't risk it.
