Just ordered new rims
Just ordered new rims for my black 2012 LS from tire rack. Yes they are 18s. Wasn't prepared to spend the money for new rubber. That said, I think they will look sharp.

2012 1LS Black. Took the plunge into the blackout world. Now I need to consider what else to black out. Window tint a must in AZ. Will do tail light trim. Maybe tail lights, side markers, headlights, bowties. Where and when does it all end?

So the rims were roughly $756 shipped. This included the TPMS parts to move the sensors to the new rims. Discount Tire charged $112 to mount and balance the new rims with the stock tires. This included their road hazard service on the tires and lifetime balancing. Without the road hazard service it would have been around $99. This is inline with tirerack.com's recommended installers (bigo, pep boys, Firestone). I just prefer my local discount tire.

Btw, I was real picky about the rims I wanted. 5-spoke off black (charcoal, dark grey etc). If you buy from discount, they mount and balance for free. They do have some reasonably priced rims. That said tire rack treated me great. They even followed up to make sure I included the TPMS kit with my order. They concluded I was moving my tires based on my vehicle data and the rims I purchased. I definitely recommend them.

You should definitely get some coilovers and lower your car KirkB !
With these new smaller rims, you got this huge empty space between the body of the car and the wheels, which I think looks awful! Nice rims tho!! Im looking for 18" rims too and will look nice with the new Megan Racing coilovers that I just got! I highly recommend you too!
