yea, I was looking at similar styles for my Element, then I found a set of MDX wheels with tires so I jumped on it.

Looks good but I would recommend a 55 series tire for 18" wheels. 50 series will give you a lot more wheel well shown and be even more bouncy. If you plan on lowering it also then maybe go with what you like, but living in colorado I would go larger, your E still wants to play off-road!

Thank you Sir.:-)

I have those General Exclaim UHP's on my E' and they're great tires and they really perform exceptionally well in the rain.;-) As for your wheel choice, personally I think they are kind of small, but I do actually like them. 8)

Good looking rims!!!

I agree with nextgenxx, I would go with the 235/55 R18 tire.

If you want to go with a 50 series tire, move up to 245/50 R18.

Keep us updated with pix!!!!

I have the General Exclaim UHP's in 205/45R16 on my Miata and love them. What a bargain they were. I was looking to buy the Yokohama S.Drive's but the Generals were such a deal I bought them.

I have first hand experience with those wheels on another vehicle. They are heavy, and very strong. They are similarly constructed to the SC OEM wheels. A friend of mine has had them for several years and they still look good.

I ordered the package and it will be here today.

235/50ZR18 is the same diameter as stock so I think I will be happy with wheel well shown.

Yes similar weight and constructed to the SC OEM wheels at 25lbs ea.

It's supposed to SNOW here in a few days so these may not go on the E for awhile. :|
