Default 100mph+ daily freeway driving

I'm looking into some new wheels and tires for my 2001 Accord(4dr). This is just my go to "going to work" car, but I need some help from the Honda experts here. I wanna go with 17s or 18s, but don't know the right tire size. I drive about 100mph+ whenever I get on the freeway and I want a smooth comfortable ride even when I hit potholes and bumps. What do you recommend as far as brand and tire size? Also what is hottest looking chrome wheel for this car?

Hi there speeddemon....

The wheel that will get you the most looks on that ride is no other than the SYMBOLIC XR16 in the size 18x7.5 both front and rear, tires in size 225/35VR18, I like the Toyo Proxies T1R.

See wheel below and go to toyotires.com to see the tires...

the toyo's are nice tires I will admit that but if you're doing those speeds and massive mileage but not actually racing I would suggest the Falken Azenis (or Ziex aren't bad either...depending on what you're doing...) The Falken's are much cheaper and not that much of a sacrafice on performance.
