How's this set up?

I'm looking at replacing my sexy hub caps with some rims in a month or so. Here's what it looks like so far.

-Falken Circuit Spec 17"x7", +40mm Offset. 5x100(obviously)
-Nitto NeoGen tires 225/45ZR-17

Is there any problem with that set up? Will it fit good? Also, I'm going to be ordering the tires from www.discounttiredirect.com. Any word on these guys?

they are almost the same specs as a normal tC wheel, i wouldnt get them.

rims are supposed to be an upgrade, and sure you have a spec so it is an upgrade, but i personally wouldnt waste my money on them.

Yeah, go for 18s. But if you AutoX, get a 17-inch lightweight wheel.

I was thinking about getting 18's but the Gun Metal circuit specs don't come in 18's in our bolt pattern. Only 17's. Just a personal preference but I think 17's look sportier then 18's do which is what I'm going for.
