    Pirelli PZero Neros are good all-seasons, vulcan has em ~$125/ea. If you want something less I'd just go with a set of ZE-512s (also all-season).

            W is the speed rating, 225 is width, 40 is sidewall, and 18 is the wheel diameter

                well did you figure out if that's the right size? a 40 series sidewall is going to give you a lot of harshness.

                  which is better 45w or 35w the 45w's are like 200$. what do you mean when you say harshness. do you mean bad turning or a bumpy ride? what would you recomend. also the whole issue with the speedo, can you recalibrate it or are you stuck with it saying your going slow.

                    okay, the sidewall and speed rating are separate, it's not a 45W for example, it's just a 45, with a W speed rating. they'll handle just fine with a 40, but you'll feel every little detail of the road, also, you shouldn't fit a tire with a larger sidewall on an 18" wheel the way our cars are, the speedo will just get even more inaccurate. your acceleration will also be slower, but on the upside you might see better gas mileage.

                        picture may be different. somewhere on the order thing it should say 4x100 bolt pattern. i would recommend going with smaller wheels.

                            because your speedo will be inaccurate and they probably weigh a fair amount. personally i view wheels as a performance upgrade, meaning they should be light and wide. 18" is just too big IMO.
