Need feedback on Enkeis and F1 GS-D3s

Thinking about ordering these hyperblack Enkei RPM2 wheels in 18x8

along with the Goodyear F1 GS-D3s in 235/40/18.

Anyone have any feedback on the wheels (ie. strength, easily bends?) and/or tires (ie. too expensive of a tire, better options, size)?
Any opinions in general? These will be going on a lowered black 4th gen with a stillen kit.

Current owners of wheels/tires please comment!!

I've got about 6K miles on my GS-D3s in 225/45-17. I like them a lot. It seems like everyone on tirerack likes them, too. For those people planning on putting them on stock 17" wheels, it looks like they come in 225/50-17 now. I wish I had that size for better ride quality. I came from 225/55-16, so I have a lot less sidewall now. It definitely made bumps a lot worse.

The Enkei wheels are one of the highest quality mass produced wheels on the market. They are reasonably light weight and very strong wheels. You would enjoy them. Check out www.streetdreams.org for great pricing on these wheels.

Enkei's are tough wheels. I had Enkei's and I've hit many many potholes through out some years and they held up just fine. I definitely recommend Enkei line of wheels.

check out enkeis rpm. I've had them for about two years and they have held up relatively well. Parada spec 2's have been great also. The tires hook up most of the time in first even when spraying a 75 shot. The rims only come in 7.5 inch width in 18 inch. I think they weigh 18.5 or 19 lbs?

Thats the exact combo I'm currently running, except Im on 245/45/18's. The wheels are great, no bending issues and the tires are excellent.
