Here is the plan:
-15*8,0 ET35.
-225/45 rubber.
-Massage the wheel arches to make them fit (basically rolling them out with the proper instrument).
-Keeping the huge negative camber I've already got (from the drop) to keep the wheel tipped in in top, so less arch-work is needed.
-According to the PDF-document i downloaded from their site; 15*8,0 ET35 has a 57 millimeter / 2,25 inches distance from the outer "ring" to the center of the wheel, making it look like the car is rolling around on 4 buckets! This is what we in Norway call "kant", or in English: "edge". This look is unbelievably popular over here in Euroworld.

Are they ugly, or great old-school-looking? (As you know by now - I like them).

those wheels are VERY wierd, but i like them for that... i like wheels that arent the "norm" and they give your car a very classic look. Good luck, and nice pick.

look cool. I say EDM! Do whatever you please. If you make 225 rubber fit, you will have put a foot in new territory if my memory serves me good. How deep dish are we talking about..

The dish with the width and offset I described is 2,25 inches. Now then, are there any other comments?

Good old school. What is the lip size (without me reading into the wheels further)? Also, have you thought about stretching the tires?

heh, those look like something you'd see on an old 80's toyota or nissan/datsun.

The lip size is, as I stated earlier, 2,25 inches. I love these wheels - they give the 3G the good, old look. Stretching the tires is what I want to do! There more, the merrier!

They are real 3-piece, and repair-parts are available from WorkWheels Japan, if one is unlucky enough to damage them beyond repair.

Here are pics direct linked from www.work.wheels.co.jp :
