Arrow Need wheel help, and have you seen these?

1. I just bought a 02 ex, and trying to figure on a set of wheels. My car is red, and i cant decide on what color to go with. Silver, black, or gun metal. WHat do guys think?

2. I see alot of people on this site saying that 18's dont rub, But i just came from a site that say they do. I did a search and didnt find much on this. But what is the approximate amount you can lower on 18's before you rub. say with a 205/40/18 tire? Or whatever most people run with an 18? I dont plan on racing this entirely, just a daily that looks good.

3. Finally, has anyone dealt with Ace alloys any? There is a type of rim that i kinda thought up in my head, and actually seen it. If you guys think they suck, do you know of any other wheel that looks like this?

I have 18's and a 1.5" drop no rubbing here. As long as you don't go any wider than a 215 wide tire, you should be fine. Ace makes decent rims for the price, and the ones in the picture look alot like the old Racing Hart C5 3-piece rims. Try a wheel called the concept 5 it is very similar to that one and may cost a little less.

I think you should get silver, white would look really good too. I don't think 205 tires will fit on 18's. I'd get 215's anyways. They are wider for better handling.
