Default 17" to 15" need help deciding what rims to get

.Hey guys, I have a set of 17" motegi mr7s on my eg right now and Im thinkin about getting a new set of 15's. Im not really crazy about the rota slipstreams unless they come in other colors besides black. Im going to start autoxing this spring and I dont know if the aftermarket rims will keep me out of the stock class. Can anybody give me any info on good 15" rims. Any pics would also be appreciated. Also what kind of tires are you guys running on your 15s. I need something with a decent tread life of at least 340 or better, and at a decent price. Im sick of spending 120 bucks a piece on tires every 6 months for my 17s.
Does anybody have the Konig Traffiks on their car or know of anybody that has them, I think they look nice but thats IMO .
Any help appreciated.

The 15" Rota Slipstreams/Circuit 8s/Sub Zeros all weigh in around 12 pounds each, they are a great price and the quality is pretty good from what I hear. Also check out Kosei wheels, especially the K1 Racing...at 15" i think they weigh around 13.5 pounds...a little heavier and more expensive than Rotas, but the quality is probably a little higher. Just my opinion...also Rotas come in other colors besides black..check this site out: http://www.machiii.net for Rotas... http://www.tirerack.com for K1s...

Keep your wheels and use the money toward an engine swap.

I think those have got to be the real Desmonds since Rota's gunmetal is MUCH darker than that!
