@jcreel, based on what your trying to achieve, it's going to be tough to come up with a better solution than what @grimicci101 has suggested. You have lots of options on wheels, but the TSWs are an excellent fit, reasonably priced, good quality, and not too heavy - which is a big concern, because drastically increasing unsprung weight with heavy wheels can really ruin the dynamics of the car. Having said that, I assume you understand that a 17" wheel would be a better choice for the reasons I listed above, but if you're looking for the aggressive looks an 18" wheel offers the TSWs are a good choice. I personally prefer matte graphite or matte black over gloss black anyway, so they work for me in that respect, too!

As you continue to reasearch things, you'll find it's important to match grip levels to your suspension, meaning you have to be careful about how large and sticky a tire you go with while still remaining on your stock coils and dampers. @grimicci101's suggestion is excellent in this regard, because the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ will provide a nice bump in performance, is class-leading in wet weather performance, and still not overpower your stock suspension.

Go for it and let us know what you decide on once you make your decision!
