Seeking advice:
I currently (still) have the d90's with 16's and the complete lack of selection on 16's I'm considering moving to 17's. My budget is tight, so I can't afford the CIII's that I would prefer. I'd rather only move to 17's, not 18's or 19's.
I'm considering the TireRack solution of the "Sport Edition Cup 4" :
Wheels:
17x7.5 in front , 17x9 in rear.
Tires:
225/45 in front, 255/40 in rear.
Anyone have this combo? Advice with this set-up?

Funnily enough, a local who was considering that car just bought the '87 from Melbourne which has the 89 dash installed - and it turned out to be absolutely mint with *all* the work already done to it and the complete history of receipts etc.
I see an X-pipe, chips and injectors in your future

Thanks Hilton! Matt has been really good over this deal (and always fantastic to deal with), oddly, its the second time I've owned the engine in this car... 
I have mixed emotions though as I have to sell my 81S (with an 85 engine in it)... I took it for an early morning blast yesterday morning down to South Arm and its just such a wonderful car. I was starting to think "what have I done..." I am looking forward to driving a manual again though.. and this 87S4 looks beautiful with the Cayman wheels and I bought some Aero mirrors off Matt for it as well.
And yes, an X pipe and chips are in my plans... although finishing the 66 911 racecar in my garage is also on that list... and getting the house painted... and a deck built.. and a holiday... etc etc

OK. I'll Play!
My avatar shows the 16" BBS on my 928. Lots of curb rash and undersized tires from P/O. The BBS's are a PITA to clean, but look nice with some attention.
Changing them out to 18 panamera 5 spokes as soon as the Potenza tires get worn down some more.

Here is my alternate set: 996TT BBS-made hollow spoke; powder coated in PPG Thundercloud.
