Let's see your wheels The 05 I just bought has some pretty nasty curb rash on every wheel so I'm thinking of new ones I like the general look and size of stock but new and rashless lol can anyone post up their Vs with aftermarket wheels?

On those Milles? That big a rear tire on that narrow a rim is hurting your cornering performance because of the play in the sidewall (bulge) However it probably hooks better since the sidewall can wrinkle a little bit even with very stiff sidewall tires.

I still corner decently..I dont track the car so no real test but as far as back road curves I do good at with no loss of traction. I dont trust the guage but my best is a .91 on a left and .88 or a right..it stayed glued

If you are not tracking and you are happy with the look/performance of your setup then that is all that matters! The 8" wheels are better suited for a 235 size tire though which would be PERFECT in a snow tire for winter.

GM Accessory wheels. Same size as stock, but a couple/few pounds lighter.
Rota Torques in Hyper Black. Same size as stock (18x8.5", +42mm offset), a few pounds lighter than stock (which means about the same as the GM Accessory wheels). Undoubtedly the least expensive quality wheels you can find for the V.
(1st pic is clean with stock ride height, 2nd pic is covered in a track day's worth of brake dust lowered on KW coilovers).

H&R and i love them. I have only heard one person Ever that didn't like them and he is on the other forum. They ride great and give a perfect stance with the stock fe4 shocks
now if you are getting aftermarket shocks like qa1's do not get H&R because they are a little to low in the rear but they are perfect with the stock shocks IMO
