JasperGT...I'm in the same boat as you. I grew tired of my 20's and even though they look damn good, and I'll probably miss them, I'm switching back to 18's. My new wheels and tires should arrive Thursday and Friday and I'll have them on this weekend. My tires were also wearing out mostly on the inner edge due to negative camber. I installed J&M camber plates once I saw how bad they were. That's part of the reason I'm switching wheels and tires now since I need new front tires anyway. Oh and I'm not normally a fan of all black wheels but those look good on your car.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone!
Yes. I still have them in case I want to switch back. They are great looking wheels!
I got them through Discount Tire. I went to TSW's website and found a vendor. Ends up being pretty close to the internet vendors, except for the taxes!
Now that I look at my tires, I can physically see the negative camber. It's not as pronounced as when you see a slammed civic, but its there.
I've got those same plates in my garage. Sounds like we stumbled upon the same thing almost simultaneously. I'm normally not to found of black wheels either, but I figured it was a good time for change. Be sure to post pics of the new wheels!
I can't say for sure, but I don't think they will. I would call TSW or Discount Tire and ask them. These wheels come in all sorts of diameters, widths, and offsets so they may be able to get something worked out with maybe 19's or 20's if you're interested.
