Guidance and opinions needed

Help me make up my mind on wheels. Pretty set on +40 or +45, 18x9.5, probably 255/35 square or thereabouts. Going to run HC's suggestions on ride height, spring rate, run a little bit of camber for mostly street driving maybe an occasional autox, probably visit deals gap and other twisty local roads sometimes. I really like gram lights 57xtreme, SSR v02s, love (but can't afford) ce28s or gtc01s. Whats some more affordable, not extremely heavy wheels in the proper offset? give me some options.

Enkei has a number of 18x9.5 in the +35 to +45 offset range: Racing | Enkei Wheels
Pretty lightweight and for pretty reasonable $$$.
I have 18x9.5 +45 PF01 wheels on the back of my FD (17x8.5 +40 up front):

Car looks great. I tried to make myself like the pf01 or rpf1s, but I just don't. TMaybe it's because there are so many of those two out there. Maybe if the pf01 was slightly concave and was offered in something other than silver and black, like gunmetal, I would be into it. Other than those two and the new gtc01rr I think those are the only enkei's in fd friendly 18" offsets?

*Edit- Just checked your link and sizing/offsets-didn't realize enkei made several others in fd sizes.

For instance Enkei's tsp6 gunmetal--looks great but not fd friendly in anything wider than 18x8.5.

NT03+M comes in 18x9.5 +40, that'd work with some camber and rolled front fenders...
