Ive heard a lot of the fit parts will fit. I just wonder are you guys having handling issues that larger wheels and tires will fit or is it a look thing?

I think the mugen wheel at my local dealer looks great, but 500+ a wheel is more than I am willing to spend. In my experience anything larger or smaller than oem will cause fuel economy to go down, but lighter weight will cause it to go up. One reason I mentioned the enkre(SP?) in anotehr post as they are the lightest 15 inch at tirerack that will fit and looking at the black option.

Yeah, I too have though about spacing the rear wheels out to even it with the edge of the car. This does cause more stress on the rear bearings and my car has this sound already like a bearing somewhere is worn.
