I would go for the Z5000's in an 18" application. It will look visually bigger than the M5's, due to the fact that the spokes continue all the way to the outside of the rim. They also come in a Prelude friendly 18X7.5 size. The M5 is a beautiful wheel, I just don't think it was meant for small FWD cars. I believe the smallest width you can have it in an 18" size is 18X8, and I'm not even sure it has a compatible offset to clear our fenders. Unless you take a baseball bat and roll them like me

Actually the Z5000 will rub unless you get a real low profile tire
like 225/35/18 or 215/35/18 ---offset is +42 or +44
You will be able to get a higher offsetin the M5s

Definately the M5 3pc in 18s man they're extremely nice if you can afford them!!!!
I had the M5 in 17s on my car last and wished that they were 18s. Pluse..everyone and their grandma got the Z500 or replicas of that design anyway...Konig..Velox..
