Just got an 08 ex-l coupe with the 18" rims. I am upsizing to 19" rims so the stock 18" rims with the michilens and the tpms sensors intact are for sale. I get my new wheels next week so the stock wheels and tires will have about 350 miles on them by then. I thought about keeping them for winter tires and rims but probably would never use them...I have a 4wd truck I can drive if it is nasty out. Let me know if anybody is interested. I think the tires themselves are about $285 each new...was thinking maybe $1,500 for everything which includes the TPMS sensors intact...maybe that is wishfull thinking?

hey, do you have any idea what the stock rims weigh? I'm interested in upgrading my rims as well but don't want to get ones that weigh more.

I am gettting the ron jon legends in liquid silver 19" x 8" with falken 235/40/19...no other mods at this time except I am starting to research putting in aftermarket amps/subs/speakers etc....finding out that many headaches lie ahead on that one

I don't know what they weigh but if I haven't already sold them before I take them off next week I will weigh a tire/rim combo...then I guess we could try to figure out what the tire alone weighs

cool... be sure and post pics when they're on. id like to see how it looks.
personally id like the rears to meet the fender a little more, im thinking about putting spacers on the back (ive seen an 08' coupe with staggered 19's where the rears were wider then the fronts. it looked sweet but kinda funny et al, it's fwd).
also considering lowering a little bit but i like the clearance i currently get. havent had to worry about curbs or the concrete parking space blocks.
and i hear you about the aftermarket sound. theres a local shop that's trying to work it so i can remove the eom sub and put a larger JL 8" or 10" up there... im seriously considering removing the rear deck speakers, putting a JL 6" for mid/lows, and then 2 JL 10" up there and having no mid's or high's in the rear seats. anyone sitting back there will get nothing but bass, but it will sound good up front

Looks like they weigh about 26 pounds...I weighed the wheels with the tires on them (53 pounds) and also weighed just a new tire.
