The car in question was an '05 and only had 20k miles. I think I'll chalk it up to the narrow tires and make 18's a required option in my search.

Thanks for the input.

I wouldn't rule out 17" based on one driving experience. I have the factory 17 inch with Pilot sports and it feels glued to the pavement. I thought most of the newer year models were 18 inch after they beefed up components to make the switch.

18" rims are the way to go.

The 17" rims are narrow and limited the size of tires you can put on those wheels. You should be able to get a set of 987 18" rims for $1000-1500. You won't regret it.
