Exclamation Upgrading Stock Rims on 09 Accord Coupe

I have a 4 cylinder 09 Accord Coupe with the stock rims (seen below)...



I want to upgrade to the 18" ten spoke rims (seen below)...has anybody done this? How did it affect the vehicles performance?

ABS light goes on when breaking (sometimes) Honda dealer did an inspection and they suggest to use oem tires,they deleted the sensor code.Most of the rims i`ve seen for this car are 16" but stock is 15" ...i`ll trade my rims and tires for 15 in good conditions,i found a set of 4 rims for $ 299,00 at ebay.Take care.

Have the brakes clean and adjusted. This could be an indication one is frozen or binding. The wheel should not play a part in lockup unless you have bad or bald tires.

[B]205[B]/55/15 If you wanted to upsize the wheel for every inch you go up in rim(15) you take off 10 from 55. This will keep the total tire height the same and not trigger abs or vsa lights.

Down size the rim is ok as long as the brakes will clear and the over all tire height is the same. Just note you will incur more body role in corners.
