Thirsty Turtle,
The correct wheels for your car are the 14 spoke (twin 7 spoke) 18"s which come on the S as shown in pics above. Since yours is 2007 MY, they only had the S package on RWD, so you should 14 spoke 18" with
7.5" wide rims with 225/50/18 Bridgestone Potenzas or equivalent up front and
8.5" wide rims in rear with 245/45/18 Bridgestone Potenzas.
I mention this because in 2008 it is possible to get S package with all wheel drive which I *think* comes with same rims but 7.5 wide in rear also with 225/50/18 tires.
So make sure you get the 8.5 wide rims with the 245's in back.
Congrats on your new car and that is pretty cool that seller was up front about rims without you asking.
BTW, I am new to this forum too. I guess I should post up in new owner section but I am not really new owner, had mine for a year now.

well I just got off the phone with the guy from the dealership and my car's gunna be ready on Thursday for pickup after they put new tires on the 17's. But here's what's AWESOME. They figured out (without me saying anything) that those aren't the stock wheels for the '07 and they ordered me BRAND NEW stock 18's PLUS BRAND NEW tires for them and I'll take it back by next week when they come in and they'll switch them out. Plus, I can hopefully talk them into letting me keep the 17's and using them for my winter setup. How great is THAT!?!
