wheel choices

Its about time to swap to summer tires and I was thinking about getting some new wheels to go with it. I'm on winter tires on oem wheels right now. Currently it's my DD, no tracking, stock power/suspension, just enjoying it on the streets. While I'm not racing or anything, I would like to avoid heavy wheels that would make the car slower than it already is.

I'd like to stick to wheel brands with a good reputation, no replicas. I'm not looking to spend Volk levels of money, but I'm willing to pay for better quality.

With that said, some of the choices I've narrowed down to are:
1.) BBS RF

Pro - forged, super light, seems like an oem fit.
Con - styling somewhat bland in 17" size, 18" is super expensive.

2.) Titan-7 TS5

Pro - forged, super stylish, light
Con - only comes in 18x9.5, maybe too wide for stock power?, probably would have to buy coils to fit

3.) RPF1

Pro - tried and true
Con - only looks good (imho) with flat face on 9-9.5" width (and same issues with ts5), too commonplace


Plan B - put summer tires on oem wheels, buy coilovers, save up for turbo kit and get wheels later
Plan C - buy a Cayman

Any thoughts or other wheel recommendations appreciated.
