Default Need some help!

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

Quality between those two brands is good. As for sizing, you'll want +45 to +50 offset for an 8" wide wheel.

Will I be sacrificing any performance? Also will those Pirellis work on 18x8s?

Only if the overall weight of the wheels/tires is greater or if the tires you're looking at don't have the same sort of tread design/compound.

They could.
