Need a little help selecting rims/tires...

Hey fellow .org members! I'm getting ready to buy some new rims and tires and I just can't make up my mind. I thought if some of you could give me a second opinion that might help

I've got it narrowed down to six rims:

#1 Excel Art
#2 Excel DL-46
#3 Excel Kata
#4 Excel M-6
#5 Excel Max
#6 Excel P-5

Here's a link to all of the rims
All of these have the 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Is the 'Wheel & Tire Package 1' with 205/40/17 fit properly?
Also, what tires would be the best out of these?
Does anyone happen to know how much extra the different tires are from wheelmax, if any additional cost?

Thanks for your response!

Wheels-DL46. Tires, according to how much you want to spend. Cheaper-Nitto 555, more money-Toyo T1S. The 205/40's are WAY too small. Use this link to compare to you original size tire. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
Oh, get 7.5 or 8.0 inch wide wheels.

i like the p5's and i would also go with toyo, all the suspension in the world don't mean anything without a tire that can handle it.
