Cool. Can you explain what "cast wheels" are? Im a wheel noob and now a honda noob.
I wonder if the 18 a lot wider than the stock 16 and if that will be an issue. Im relying on the professionalism of the dealer really. They seem pretty good actually.
If you post up the specs of your rims I can let you know about fitment. Most likely your rims will be 18x7.5. Best not to assume, however, the dealer will use the correct offset as some tyre shops fit Euros with +42 which I think is too low compared to stock.Quote:

The other thing to check is what tyres they are putting on - the tyres make a big difference in the cost and performance of tha package.
