I always regretted not having 18s on my 5th gen, but I got a super sweet deal on my wheel/tire combo that I couldn't pass up!

Just wanted to post these because they look somewhat similar to the ones on that black Accord:

Awwww! I LOVE the Konigs Unknowns and had always wanted those until I found out their price. I think they are one of the best looking wheels....they look much better in person. Thanks for the link

I don't care for black wheels personally, but I like the GF 7 pretty well.

I also like the MSW Type 11.
I haven't ever bought aftermarket wheels, but I will give youa brief review of the tires I bought a few months ago.
My wife's cousin in a Bridgestone rep, so i got about a $150 discount. But I still wound up paying over $500 for the tires, mount and balance (on my stock steelies)
Bridgestone Touranza w/ Serenity technology
75k mile warranty
Free tire rotations for life
Good grip on dry pavement. Very quiet. Grip in the rain is outstanding. I have never had a tire perform this well in the rain before. When driving in the rain, I can barelytell a difference in the grip (unless I get on the gas too much from a stop.) This was a big plus for me as my Mustangs hydroplaned very easily. SoI have always hated driving in the rain. If I ever buy another Mustang, i will probably put this brand of tire on it.
The tires are designedfor high powered luxury vehicles like BMW's, Infinities, etc..
I did not see them on tirerack though in the sizeyou said you will need.
They are expensive tires, but I doubt I will need to replace them any time soon.
Just my little tire review for ya

Ya gotta have 2 sets of wheels, but the BF Goodrich KDW's are friggen sick in the rain. My buddy has them on the EP3 and they are really unbelievable. My Toyo Proxy4's hold the road pretty good too for an all-season option. When I pulled the 0.9 g turns in my accord, I had stock wheels with Yoko's on them. I had dB S2's .... they were discontinued because the dual depth rain channels caused problems with the tire's life ...... the inner channel caused cracks that wrap around the entire tire .... every rain channel!!!

Thanks for all the input and such guys!

I have decided I am going to get 18's I just have to save up a little more longer than planned.
Once I have the money, I will really start looking for wheels, but most likely I will get the Sport Tuning Blades.

At work, this lady has a Lexus w/ 235/50/r18s and they look huge! It is a pretty thick tire and I think it would fill the wheel well quite nicely on my car. So what do to first two numbers mean? And if I put 18's on will it raise the car and lessen the "fill in effect" of 18 inch wheels?

THANKS AGAIN!
