wheel upgrade ???s

Looking to upgrade wheels on our 2000 9-3 base, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Sport Edition Fox 5 wheels found at tirerack.com? I'm leaning towards these w/ Yokohama Avid T4s (205/55/16).
Any comments, yay or nay?
Other possible wheels are Borbet (Type E or H) or even the Fondmetal 5800s from Discount Tire Direct. I searched the board and found some comments that Borbets and Fondmetals are very soft and easily bent, is this true?
Also, my understanding is that going to 205/55/16 rather than 205/50/16 tires will give a more forgiving ride, less likelihood of bending a wheel, etc. Am I correct in this conclusion?
Thanks in advance for your comments/suggestions. Oh yeah, and I'm in Atlanta, so no snow tires needed, just decent wet/dry traction.
