Wheel Size
Hi, I'm new to this forum. I just recently purchased a 2004 Honda Accord EX Coupe in July. I have the stock 16" 5-spoke alloys, but I want to go maybe an inch or 2 bigger. Can anyone recommend something that'll look good? I tried on 17" OZ Superleggeras, but they didn't look as good as I expected, so that's down the drain now.

Re: Wheel Size (Shinbo)
there are 135465134616816113158431 style of wheel you can get for your accord.
there's lightweight one(good for racing), heavy one(cheaper), ugly one(chrome, plastic spinnerZ or worst real spinnerZ. Read: PIMP, DOPE), expensive one(advan, volks, SSR...), wannabe(rota, tenzo r, r1), steelie, oem, etc
the bottemline is buy what you like, but remember this, you get what you pay for. You can get superlegger or some taiwanese superlegger knockoff, but you dont get the quality control, lightweight construction of the real thing.
CLiffnote: you get what you pay for.

Since looks are a personal preference it's difficult to offer suggestions. Go to tirerack.com, or tires.com, or other websites that offer a way to place the selected wheel on an image of your car.
Go silver or painted, stay away from BLING BLING!

Thanks for those sites. They were a good help on letting me preview what the wheels would look like on my car. I still haven't made a decision yet, but I hope I do soon.

Plus you can try wheelmax.com. That's where I got my current set of rims at,and where I am about to get my next set at. Or wheelsnext.com (not sure if that site is still up).
