your 403 wheels/tires weigh about 54lbs/57lbs. the sportline 8s with contis weigh 44lbs/46lbs. removing 10lbs at each wheel is a big deal.
EDIT...another wheel is the TSW Bathurst. they are lighter than the sportlines and can be found for $1260 shipped on amazon in slightly different sizes. i've even found and bought tires shipped from amazon.
with either wheel choice you could also consider consider square setups with 255/40/18 if you want tire rotation.

Thanks for the detailed post
For the optimum 255/40/18 square setup, the ideal wheel size all around would be 18x8.5 ET38 correct?
For the wheels you mentioned, wouldn't I be better off just going for even lighter weight Apex ARC-8s? Pricing seems about the same.
