Default wheel decision

Thinking of going 18x8 and 18x12. I plan on going to the Goodguys show in Columbus this weekend. If I do not see anything better, I think I will order when I return. What's killing me though is whether or not to go the cheap route on wheels and brakes. I mean I can get cobra pbr calipers and drilled/slotted rotors along with black FR500 wheels and end up saving around 3k. The brakes would be the same as the baer kit I was pricing just with a different name. Of course I would only have 18x10 with 315 tire vs 18x12 with 345. So, a little more money I get a forged wheel, more traction, and brakes that say baer on them instead of cobra(not a big deal). These are the FR500 that could save me some money, courtesy of BigMac. If I get these, probably keep the car black. Really not a good comparison, but what do you guys think?
