TSW Nurburgring Wheels - Perfect Fit for BRZ?

Hey Guys, I'm looking to buy these today or tomorrow, and wanted to see if someone could confirm whether these are a perfect fit for our cars?

I'm looking to go with 17*8. Which offset should I order, 35 or 45?

I have a grey metallic BRZ and leaning towards Matte Bronze finish, do you think this will be a good match color-wise?

Thanks for all the help.

From what I've seen the 35 offset wheels have a little bit of poke. Some like it and are looking to go low with lots of camber anyway but with a mild drop it looks a little odd to me. I think for a mild drop the 45 offset is the way to go.

Are you lowering the car at all? If so +35 no brainer.

If not then the +45 is not bad, I might still go with the +35 even still. There might be an ever so slight amount of poke at stock height but it's pretty much bang on flush.

I just got mine, 17x8 +35 and the front poke a bit and the rears are still tucked, but I do plan to lower a bit and add some camber.

I went with 35 in the rear and 45 in the front.. fills the rear more, and doesn't poke in the front. I'm lowered about 1 inch.
