Default 17" or 18"

Hi,

I currently have a 2000 White Accord Coupe V6. My next project will be rims. I currently have OEM front lip and back with Tein 1.5" drop. Any recommendation on what kind/size of rims I should get to let it stay clean?

17 would look good and be cheaper, but 18 IMO like others look great. My friend has some on his accord, I forgot which racing hearts he has, but it is 18" and fits real well.

If money is not of concern: 18s

I'd go with 17's but they don't look big at all on this body style. 16's look good on 94-97's but with the bigger, bulkier style of the 98-02's, 17's are a better choice. I can post an old photoshop of some rims i have if you want. The front wheel is actually on, the rear wheel is chopped (sort of bad) and the drop is photoshopped too but looks natural. It will give you an idea of what 17's look like. Let me know if you want me to post it.

I'd say 17's because if you match the tire correctly, you wont have as many problems with wheel damage, differences in speedo, and weight problems compared to stock weight.

The rear wheel is photoshopped, the front one is actually bolted on my car. Well give you an idea of the size though. Oh, and the black accord has since been de-riced
