Just put on my ATP S5's with 225/45 18" Pilot Sports.
I didn't get a chance to drive em around much, and since I have my old wheels and tires in the back... didn't take things to hard. But, dang... money well wasted.
Ride: Pilot Sports kick ass. It's definately stiffer and has more impact when you hit bumps... but it feels way more controlled and dampened. On stock, you hit a bump and you feel kinda of a wavy motion afterwards. None of that here. You hit the bump, feel it once and that's it. No extra action or sea sickness.
Sound: Atleast for local driving it was quieter. Yet to take it on the freeway yet.
Handling: It' was very very obvious. The car immediately felt some 700 pounds lighter (even with stock wheels in the back). Turning was percise, handling was confident and lean was gone. I'm debating on getting sway bars now. There is almost no reason to anymore.
Looks: I think... amazing. Very stock looking wheels, but very stylish. Not overplayed (no one has these wheels), not racy and not G. Forgot the camera today cause I was in such a hurry to pick em up. But, I'll post tomorrow. It definately makes the car look lower though. Comptech springs and stock wheels didn't really look lowered, but now the car does look low.
Price: ATP S5 18" run around $240 a wheel.
Pilot Sports 225/45-18" also run around $240 a tire.
Add on $200 bucks for mount, balance, insurance, locks and new lugs.
I'm sitting at work way to jacked up. I should have gotten em 'after' work... now I can't concentrate... I just wanna drive!
