I just ordered these up today with some 245/40/18 Pirelli PZ4 Sports. Was going to go Bridgestone RE71R but I've run them before and they are REALLY noisy. I just don't hit the turns enough where I live to merit that kind of noise.

Anyway, here's the wheel. Gloss black with ball cut machine accents. Wheel is an FK Ethos RT-57 in 18x9" and +40 and weighs 21lbs. Tires are 23 lbs. Setup mounted and balanced should be around 45lbs...9 lbs lighter than stock. My car is NOT dropped and won't be so I wanted the slightly taller tire to help take up a tiny amount of wheel gap and also for more grip and less slip. I like these wheels because they're:

a) inexpensive (on sale at $100 each after rebates)
b) keep with the OEM gloss black and machine accent motif
c) remind me a bit of the Civic Type R wheels, but better looking IMO

I have a nice hand pull on the front and rear fenders giving me about 5-7mm more flare and have also removed the locating pin on the upper strut mount and set them to max neg camber giving me another 3 maybe 4 mm more to play with aesthetically so hopefully no poke but it will be close. I'm not opposed to hitting it with a fender roller for a bit more if I need to. I'll take some really good "down the side of the car" pics when I get them in in a couple weeks. My Si Coupe is red. I may try to hit them with a red pinstripe too on the lip. We'll see.

Anyone know what good tire size for a ce28n 18x8.5 30+. The tires are currently 225/40/18. I was thinking to go more meaty tires. I’m going to be installing my springs next week. The drop is 1.3F and 1.2R.

The wheels look great. But I am over the whole cambered out look. I know it's not yours, I was just saying.
