Those are the same general wheel specs as the ARC-8 wheels (18x10" et25). The Enkei NT-03 does NOT clear a 380mm Brembo BBK that is a fact. and I'm almost certain they don't clear the stoptech 380 kit.

Obviously for the OP, neither of these wheels are an option due to his BBK, but I just wanted to clarify that the NT-03 is not an option either.

If you had a smaller BBK, then the ARC-8 is a pound lighter.

I don't believer there is any wheels in 18" that is not fully forged that can clear the brembo 380 kit, and even those wheels are just a few millimeters from touching.

The reality is 380mm BBK's are a street/bling setup because they limit your wheel/tire choices so drastically for a track setup. You're either stuck running one of the Volk wheels, Turner's Forgeline track wheel, or 19" wheels which limits you to only the R888 as a tire choice in r-compounds.
