Default Which of these wheels are a better fit?

I have a 2003 Accord coupe v6 thats very low on coilovers with sways. Looking to upgrade the wheels. Which of these are a better fit? I want to improve handling but figure a half inch won't make much difference.

TSW Max 18x8.5

Avid.1 AV-06 18x9

Thanks

I'm a fan of less rubber (up to a point.) So I would choose 8.5 for more rubber, better ride, and more protection. Oh and that 0.50 can make a difference.

How about 18X8?

Avid 1 is also my suggestion. More natural looking to the car

sup fellas, I decided to go with TSW Nurburgring in 18x8.5 +45. I ran 19'' Tenzo GT-5s for almost 90k miles and wanted more rubber for a smoother ride, also wanted to go with more of a mesh wheel for a change. I also just installed HR front and rear sways, some braided lines and HPS pads to go with my Tein coilovers. Going for 200k in my Honda yaaaaaaaa. The reason I chose the this wheel was the light weight.
