I had some 18 Konigs on my 06 Accord without the hubcentric rings, and there was a very slight vibration at highway speeds. I took the wheels off and put on the rings, it was somewhat better. But the 7th gens have a feeling of feeling the highway when you cruise. You can feel it through the wheel no matter what.

Is has nothing to do with size really... Are they OEM Honda wheels, if so no need for the rings. If they are any type of universal aftermarket, then for the smootheset ride you may want to consider them

Yes it's oem! Well i already installed them but there is a thud sound coming from the rear when i'm making a turn. The rear tires is 245- 55-16. Anybody got an idea why its making that thud sound only in turns?

Well i guess nobody has done this before so here's what i did to make it work. I just bought a 1/4 inch spacer for the rear wheels so it wont hit the lca. That's pretty much it.
