Wheels and tires

So iv been looking for some wheels to purchase. I came across these Enkei Imola all black. I plan on getting 18s. Now i just need to find some good tires. I'm trying not to break the bank because tax season is on its way. Anyone have any good places to get cheap but good tires. I live on Long Island NY.
Heres a pic of the wheels:

awesome thanks alot, ill check it out. Also I don't really want to do any body work with the car- drop it or anything like that. I think I found the right size at least- 235/40R-18. Will that work?

225 or 235/40 will be fine. but you can do 245 if you want a little more protection.

since you are not lowering your car, doesn't really matter too much.

I always get mine from Tire Rack. Prices aren't always the best though. Maybe you can find a set on sale
