After careful (somewhat) consideration and lots of adivse and ideas from my fellow E'ers I've made my decision and ordered my rims and tires yesterday from The Tire Rack. I decided to go with the Pirelli Scorpian STR tires (16s) and the ASA EM9 rims (16x7). I decided to stay with the 16s instead of upgrading to the 18s. I should have the rims and tires by the beginning of next week. Will try to post some pics as soon as possible. Thanks to all who were nice enough to take an interest and offer advise and opinions. It helped me a lot........
