Madmax2k1, now those look perfect. OEM look but sporty. Yours is an "S" model, so my XS will look higher on those wheels 
Too bad.
I also read the offset on those wheels are a lot different than our oem.

icrap. Yours looked nice on 18, does not look lifted at all.
I am looking hard at the Enkei's from the links I uploaded. I dont want a lifted look, want it to look the same height with the new wheels but just sportier looking in a stock form. I guess the stance of the car with 18's all depends on the design of the wheels on if it will make it look higher or not?

I am looking at a few specific Enkei's:
Enkei PFS:
Enkei Performance PFS Hyper Grey
Enkei Raijin:
Enkei Tuning Raijin Gunmetal Painted
Enkei TS-10:
Enkei Tuning TS-10 Storm Grey
Enkei TS9:
Enkei Tuning TS9 Platinum Grey
Enkei TX5:
Enkei Tuning TX5 Platinum Grey
I am not sure why tirerack website is not saving my car. But, if you click on the link scroll down and select "Platinum Graphite" for car color then you can see what my car will look like with the wheels. Edit, besides the Enkei PFS as it seems the car would also need to be changed to a 2013 G37x sedan (did not save the model for that wheel)
I am looking for a wheel that looks like OEM, but is nicer looking. luxury/sporty look.

The issue you (and I) have is two-fold.
First, how is the car going to look with aftermarket wheels, yet not lowered.
In my case, sometimes the car looks like it's sitting too high. But other times, the stance looks great.
Secondly, you won't really be able to judge how a particular wheel is going to look on your car unless you see photos of the exact wheel (style and size) on the car, or see the wheel actually on the car.
Those things (such as on the Tire Rack website) that simulate the wheels on a particular car are helpful, but still it's not like seeing the car with the wheels on it.
Like you mentioned, I, too would like to lower and get 19s or 20s.
But for now, I'm happy with my 18s and stock suspension.
