I just put Si wheels/tires on my 07 LX. Looks great handles better but there is a noticeable decrease in ride comfort. It is still very comfortable but the ride is noticeably stiffer. I think 18's would be too stiff for me..... I am also putting on an Si Rear sway tomorrow so that will further diminish ride comfort so I think 17's are good. I am hoping the rear sway and new wheels/tires will be enough to make it feel a little more sporty in the turns. My last mod, if I can find them will be a set of Si front brakes.
