Suntzu:
Another member checked with Beaurepair tyre shop for Koya Inox1 recently. he been told that Inox-1 is out of stock now until july. so I guess your dealer is not telling you lie.
Agree with you, I will get the car first. then do the wheel later.
$2200 with continental tyres sounds good deal. but u probably can get slightly better deal NanKang NS2 tyres. (make sure you get at least 225/40/18 tyre for 8" wide rims)
I put a set of mazda RX8 18 X 8 rims on the accord euro wagon, suit it very well. The mazda rims have a +50 offset and the rim guards on the 225 tyres sit outside the guards slightly. But the overall rim suits the euro really well (similar design to the stock rims only much bigger). The 45 series potenza 040 makes the diameter a bit more though.
Looking into aftermarket 17s. What bolt pattern am I looking for? 5x114.3 or 5x100? And what is the suitable range of offsets? Thread dimensions for locknuts?

hmmm, buddyclub p1 sf has 5x114.3 in 42 offset and 5x100 in 48 offset for 17x7.
Obviously as 5x100 stud pattern won't fit it looks like only the 5x114.3 version is suitable.
Done a search etc and it seems +42 may be a fine line. Will I encounter problems (scrubbing etc), especially in the future if I lower the car ~1.5" all round?
And anybody know about the locknut dimensions?
