18" or 19" Grey wheels

I have 17" OEM Grey wheels (liek Euro Accord), but they seems to be "small" :-))) Do someone know any 18" or 19" wheels that are grey colored ?

I like Volks, so there's mine, which are silver (but also come in gunmetal grey) and also LE-28N (also known as CE-28N in gunmetal with a polished lip).

I have a CG TSX and plan to buy those volks wheels. I'm not sure if I will go with 17 or 18 because I drive a lot daily (highway).
If I go with 18, do 215/45/18 will be good on Yoko AVS ES100?
I have those tires on the oem wheels and they bite a lot but the wear quickly.
Your recommendations.

Thanks

You don't want 215/45/18. You want either 225/45/18 (shown above in Nittos...I think) or 235/40/18 like I have.

I tried to find 225/45/18 for all season, but no luck yet.

Think I will go for 235/40/18 if nth else available.

if you want to keep a smooth ride then get 17"s but the 18"s will look much better...since the wheel has a lip the wheels will look smaller, i've had a lot of comments that the the 18"s look like 17"s or even 16"s once in awhile.

i have Nitto 555 225/40/18...this tire configuration is more common and thus relatively inexpensive. or if you want a little wider tire and more rim protection you can try 235/40/18.

Same with mine. But I still like 'em.

Thanks to all for your input.
I know then that 18 will look very good and the ride is ok.

Thanks

hey, Lung fu mo shi
Do you think the bronze TE37 will look better on white?
I think still think between CE28N and TE37
seems that the CE28N doesn't look that good with high offset....

To each their own. I'm not a big fan of bronze wheels other than on a Subaru.

I think they would look okay and would bring out the "creamy-ness" of the white. But then I like the Mercury Silver.
