Any pix's of stock SSM w/OEM 18's?

I'm still debating if I should get the Acura 18's with Goodyear F1 GS-D3 (i think) over the stock 17's with HTP tires. I'm pretty convinced in terms of a performace improvement without suffering to much in ride quality, but I have' t seen a picture of a stock SSM with the 18's.

Would they look good with the SSM?

Anyone have one yet? Please post a picture if you can

You can check out my gallery for the wheels. I think the 18" wheels would look best with either the anthracite or the deep pearl green. The SSM looks great with the wheels that come with the car.

I completely agree with Hacksaw....The titanium color of the 18's goes well with antracite, green and black...but if you are getting silver, i think the stock rims look MUCH better...I am also getting silver (should be arriving next wednesday) and the silver rims go well with the silver color car...i thought about getting the 18's but it just didn't look "clean"....so what I might do is change rims once i have the car, put some new ones on 5 or 6 spokes...who knows, let me get the car first and then i will see!! lol...

Sure........for a price$$$. What will happen is that your dealer will end up sending a set out to be chromed. Very pricey when you consider you're already paying $1500 for the rims and then adding the cost of chroming them on top of that.

last time when i bought a 2003 CL type-S Navi....i had a set of 17''s chrome for an extra cost. But damn i looked good on those rims. I know not everyone is into the chrome but i think it added a nice flare to the car.

I saw an 04 TL NAVI with bodykit and 18" wheels today and I suggest getting wider tires for them. I believe they come with 235-40-18 and the rims appear to stick out too much. The rim protector from the Michilen Pilot tires isn't going to do much good.
