remember, dropping down to 18's is going to cause you to have to go with something like a 275 or 285/35/18 in front to maintain the proportions of the tire and keep the odometer and speedometer in check. or, you could go with a taller sidewall. In the rear, you would need 305/35/18s. Not sure how much cheaper or more common these are than 19" wheels, but something to keep in mind when making the switch. The fenders look wide but I'm not sure how much clearance they would have for wheels that wide, especially depending on the offset.
Now, as far as brands go, Wedsport TC105N are some of the best track wheels out there. For the price (under $2K) they are super light (17.5# at 18x9.5).
On the cheaper end, Enkei NT03's and RPF-1's are pretty cheap, around $300 a wheel in that size, and weigh around 18-20 lbs. I have the NT03s on my Evo and they are great, strong wheels that look pretty good.
I would start on street tires and learn the limits of the car before you go to a full slick or R-compound like A6 or R6s since they are less forgiving and expensive, and a waste if you don't use them to their full potential.
Something like a Bridgestone RE011R, Dunlop Z1, Advan AD08, Michelin PS2, Hankook RS-3, etc...
