First, IF you can do this it won't be cheap - count on 2200 or so bucks at the least (unless you find a wrecked G35 coupe with intact rims at your local junkyard!)
The problems are that the front and rear wheels are not the same on the G35 coupe (the only G35 that has 18" OEM wheels.) They are keyed specifically in a set of two for the front and another set of two for the rear. I think this is because the coupe uses a staggered (different wheel sizes on front and rear) wheel/tire setup and Infiniti doesn't want mechanics or drivers mistakenly putting a front wheel on the rear or vice versa - which would be BAD.
Also, can your Honda accept a 5x114.3 (also known as a 5-lug, 4.5-inch) bolt pattern? This is used by the Infiniti OEM 18" wheel.
IF your Accord can handle the above (stagger, keying, bolt pattern) then try AAARIMS.COM for buying the wheels. An Infiniti dealer will probably charge you at LEAST $750 a wheel (maybe with tire, maybe not) plus you will probably have to wait a long time since Infiniti has been in short supply for these wheels.
So, AAARIMS should be cheaper and quicker than the Infiniti dealer. Remember, you buy the front separate from the rears as detailed above. Then take the wheels to a good local tire dealer and have them chrome the wheels (my guess is that it should be about 150 bucks or so apiece.)
Good luck - maybe these cool wheels will fit your Honda after all .... Accord Boy .... doh!
Almost made it through the post being nice to you ....
