Either or, 40 profile will see your speedo reading slightly fast, 45 will see it read slightly slower (but consider tyre wear and the error in the speedo and it's really nothing significant at all).

Tire size calculator

Stock size should be 205/50/16.

Tyre fitters would love you if you picked the 45 over the 40 though... anything under a 45 profile is a pain in the ass to fit!

Actually liking how bronze and dark gold look too... light gold is a bit yuck. Stock gunmetal still wins out.

Not a problem :P. Dark gold would make yours unique from anyone else that runs the MY11/MY12 wheels, but they do look so awesome in the factory colour...

i agree, the dark gold is the way im thinking but probably run stock for a while till i can afford to paint or powdercoat the wheels. spending more on wrapping them with the right rubber, was going to put on some nexen 3000 but in hind sight now looking at the Bridgestone Potenza RE002 can get a deal on them for 219 each is that good?

Do you know anywhere i could get high gloss finish on powdercoating or should i get them painted?

Unique is probably more the look im going for but as a kid growing up I remember my mates P1 which i loved and I always said if I get a scooby i'd have gold wheeels on a wrc blue car.
