Do a search, but I will tell you that MANY people will tell you that 17" wheels is a bad idea (or just ugly) and to get 15" or 16". You don't have to get new spings and struts just because you get new wheels. However if you do get 17s, be sure to upgrade your brakes. larger wheels = more rotating mass, which takes more to get moving and more to stop. Just a suggestion.

I'm not telling you what you should do. It's up to you, it's your car and your style. Do what YOU like. All I was saying is that a lot of people on honda-tech don't like 17" wheels. And that there are other things to worry about if you do get them. Another down side is the cost of tires.
