Short answer: Your camber setting is probably out of spec... and the car needs an alignment.
UPDATE:
Was it really necessary to create two threads for one problem? :a:
At any rate, they've been merged.

heh... I had a friend (Greg) who did the same exact thing with a 95 Accord. the car was JACKED, you could easily see the that the tires were bent inwards at the top.
the problem in that case was that someone had also lowered the car too much, so another friend of mine put factory springs back on the car. that basically fixed the problem.
In your case? You could always call the service department at the dealership and ask them what a good solution is. you might get some guy who just tells you to put the original wheels on, or you might actually get someone who will help you.
Don't want to talk to honda? Call a mechanic you know. ask them.
Ultimately, I think your answer is going to be that you need your camber adjusted. Heck, who put the tires and wheels on? take it back to them and tell them they jacked it up.
