Hi Robert;
I have been through this with my 2K Viggen. With regard to tire size I have had 235/40-17 on the car and am currently using 225/45-17's on it. I do not see the 18" wheels/tires giving much benefit except for looks and a rougher ride. Maybe that would be a good size for track tires. I don't know that the 235/40's are any better than the 225-45's on the street and you'll lose a pinch of ground clearance (or should I say front air-dam clearance) with the 235's.
For wheels, The BBS wheels are great. A cheaper alternative is Ronal (I just put a set of LV's on my car) and OZ wheels. The German made wheels seem to be the strongest out there and as such I don't know if I would take a chance on others. (Anybody know about Kahn or Koenig?)
Specifically with regard to tires, Goodyear F1 GS-D3, Bridgestone SO-3 Pole position, Dunlop SP Maxx and Michelin PS-2's are at the top of the pack I believe. Continental is also in the running for the summer tires. I don't drive my car when it snows so I have not bothered with snow bites.
Also consider where you live, you may need a tire that is good in the wet or perhaps not.
