Tires and Rims Question
Let me start off by saying I really don't know that much about cars. I'm looking to buy some new rims for my 1996 Honda Accord 4dr LX. My tire size is 185/65R15. What size of rims will I need to get? 15x6.5 or 15x7? Or will either size work? I'm looking at getting http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1871916837 or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1871918929 . . Thanks in advance.

yep both will work as long as the lug pattern match the stock one
I got couple Motegi users complain about the finish, the silver paint
kinda just peel off...

Re: Tires and Rims Question (iam7head)
please please please don't get motegi or american racing wheels...anyways, if you are looking to use your regular tires, either of those will work, but if not then upgrade to something slightly larger...by the way, if your car sits at the stock ride height, it's not gonna look perty with those small assed wheels...just a heads up for ya....

Re: Tires and Rims Question (Dlfnation)
I would suggest to keep the stock rims and tire combo together maybe for winter...and get new bigger rims and tires that match. If you are already paying the $400 or so for the rims anyway.
You can get some 16 inch rims or 17 inch at most. It will make a big difference in appearance. In my opinion, getting the same size rims will make the car look marginally better. The wider and lower profile tires makes a big difference as well....

My suggestion would be light 15x6.5 or 15x7 wheels (bolt pattern must be 4x114.3) and 205/55-15 tires.
Morgan would probably tell you to get 205/50 or 205/45s.

Re: Tires and Rims Question (Dlfnation)
I am no expert, however I do have Motegi Mr7s on my 1991 honda accord (17x7)
Personally, I would reccomend at least 16s for an upgrade, be careful with the paint on the motegis(and do not let an incompetent person touch them while off because they will knock them over(on the face) and remove large amounts of paint). I would also reccomend the narrower wheel if you plan to keep your current tires.
