They don't hurt to use, but get a name brand instead of eBay.  Then you know the magnet will actually be somewhat decent.

Yeah you gotta be real careful with eBay parts...especially when they are engine components.  PWJDM makes these magnetic plugs but they are currently out of stock...

*EDIT* The oil & tranny plug combo pack is out of stock but the oil plug is in stock.

I use Mobil 1 EP too and I don't pay attention to that 15k crap...I like to be on top of making sure my engine has fresh oil.  The most I'll push the oil is 10k with a filter change at 5k.  But in your case yes I would do a filter and oil change.  I like to do a change quarterly.

so the 245 width shouldn't be a problem?  so the 50 will be too tall? I thought more sidewall the better?  im such a noob when it comes to wheels...

Do you think 245's are too wide?  And is the 50 ratio okay?  Can I expect better or worse performance?

I have the OEM alloys:


I probably won't lower later on, what would be best? 18x8 or x8.5?

And I thought my factory offset was +55?

*EDIT* Just looked the SR6's up on 1010 and they only come 18x8.  Is that okay?

So I've been reading stickies and researching for hours and I'm still a bit confused with wheel measurements and offset.  Anyways I have a 03 Accord V6 EX sedan with stock wheels and stock suspension and I'm looking to pick up some new wheels.  I love the Volks TE37 but they are a bit out of my budget so I've been looking at Enkei SR6 in bronze as well as the Sparco Assetto Gara in bronze.  Any opinions on quality between these two brands?  I'm thinking 18" would be a good size to go to considering a friend of mine has some 18" Pirellis (I think they are 245/50/18)  from his Audi he is giving away, but what offset should I go with?  I believe for the Enkei SR6, 40 and 50 offset is available and the Sparcos I'm not sure what they come with.  What would be best?  I would rather not have to mod anything in the suspension to get a good fit.  Thanks
