I need your opinions on this

This post is a little long but please read I would like your opinions. I know I posted this before, but this time I have my decision narrowed down to two wheels. As most of you probably know Ive been trying hard to save up for some new rims for my solara. The problem is Im having a hard time trying to save. I am currectly in my 4th year in college and I have one more year to go. (5year program). Everytime I get a paycheck it always has to go to my carpayment, rent, creditcard, or other living expenses.
Back to the wheels I actually made the decision of saving for the 18 in black ASA AR1's from tirerack. My problem is I dont know if ill ever get the money for these wheels. The total with shipping is $912.72 from tirerack. But there is another wheel I really like which is the ASA EM9 wheel. It costs $592.72. The only problem with this wheel is the fact the the largest size it would come in is a 17in rim and there is no dish. They look really nice and they are similar to the rims on the volkswagon jetta gli. I almost bought a brand new jetta gli but they cost 25k at the time so I had to get my 10k solara.
The ASA EM9 is a 17x7 wheel with a 40 offset. I would put 215/45 tires on these wheels (I think this offset will work with this rim)
The ASA AR1 is a 18.8 wheel with a 40 offset. I would put 225/45 tires on these wheels. Also do you guys think a black rim would look good on my car with the color it is. Check out my Cardomain website to see the color.
From a practical honest stand point what wheel do you guys think i should get. Do you think i should take longer and save for the black ASA AR1's or make life a little easier in my finacial life and get the ASA EM9's. I like the AR1's a little better but I can definatly sport the EM9s. Please let me know what you think. And thanks for taking the time to read this long post and helping me out.
Black ASA AR1 18x8 $912.72
ASA EM9 17x7 $592.72
Here is a picture of the 2004 Jetta GLI with the wheels I like a lot.
