Wheel/Tire combo

Looking to change my tires and possibly wheels and was wondering what people recommend. Right now I have the stock 14" steel wheels with P175/65 tires, but am thinking of getting some of the 1.8 LSi 14" alloy wheels. If anyone has some for sale let me know... (the cheapest I found them online was about $96 each but am looking for an even better deal)
I've narrowed my tire search down to about 5 tires - 2 of which I have good previous experience with. All but two are only offered in P185/65's. I know it's taller than stock and my speedo will be off (but I have a 3 speed automatic and I feel like an overall higher drive ratio can only help me out BTW - If I were going to change the speedo to be accurate what would I do?) Basically, I need an all-season tire that handles well and isn't too loud.
Here they are in order from highest ranked (that I've found online):
1. Yokohama AVID TRZ (185/65 - T)
2. Kumho Solus KR21 (175/65 - T)
3. Pirelli P4 Four Seasons (185/65 - T) - I liked this tire
4. BFGoodrich Traction T/A (185/65 - T) - I really liked this tire
5. Yokohama AVID Touring (175/65 - S)
Let's hear what you think.
