Nice conservative set up.
Most 2ISs in California come stock with 18s. We rarely see anything smaller here, even on the 250 model.

Very nice looking SGM and high quality photos. The 18s don't bother me and it should be fine until you lower your car. Once you drop your ride, you might inch to upsize your wheels to 19s or 20s, depending on what appearance you would like to achieve. If you like something subtle and nothing aggressive or overly sporty, 18s are the way to go!
Any plans for other mods for your car?

In California I have only seen one AWD, it was easy to spot because of the ride height.

Very nice. Sort of reminds me of the Lexus ISP Mode wheels. This is a nice OEM-type look. That's my style as well. Thanks for sharing.
