It's Tuesday, and I'm tiHREd! :)
Well, after much deliberation between many alternatives (and many hours spent on Wheel & Tire), I finally decided on a set that I had to have. They're 18x8 HRE 545's (ET 35) with charcoal metallic painted centers and polished rims. The tires are 235/40/18 Bridgestone S-02 Pole Positions.
I didn't think I'd be able to notice the effect of 18" wheels, but I've been very impressed w/ the responsiveness and turn in on corners (probably also the effect of lower profile tires, too). I really don't think they are any harsher feeling too.
I really like the look, and I'll love it even more once I get coilovers on.
All comments appreciated (except wheel gap comments!) ;-)
Thanks to Donnie(!) for taking some shots, and letting me borrow his digicam for the others. I took some more shots at night that I'll share sometime later.
(I have larger and higher resolution copies if anyone is interested.)

Too close for comfort...
