Default What rim would you choose?

I have a black 96 Accord EX 4 door and 5 speed. It wasnt not my ideal choice, but It only had 89K miles and had a sunroof and spoiler. My dad bought it for me and I cant refuse a car in a time of need. Im actually a Nissan guy but I love H as well(2nd choice). Now to get to the point of the thread...

The accord isnt THAT bad, and while Ive pondered about turboing the f22 or swapping an h22 in, Ive decided to keep the Accord as my daily for when I get my next nissan . Cant argue with the reliability it offers. There's nothing wrong with a nice looking daily right? Im having a hard time deciding on rims for my car. Id like a black, hyperblack, gunmetal, or bronze rim with a polished lip in 16-17". Any reccomendations are more than welcome and if possible cand you guys post pice with accords that have rims similar to my taste?

Thanks in advance.

thats what I was thinking as well, but Im just having a hard time choosing a rim that flows well with the accord's styling. I had the same problem with my maxima. Cant be too extreme, but also cant be too boring. Yet again Im not sure. Well not entirely so. I like the style of Gram Lights 57Pro in 17x7. But Im not willing to toss up that much money. So now the question is can anyone reccomend something similarly styled, but cheaper and still pretty durable?

Im having trouble finding the gram lights for under $350 each. I saw them for like 299 once in a group buy on another forum, but thats still expensive.

if you cannot pick a rims for your car, why even bother to modify it?

if you want inspiration go search in the A/C forum or even the accord picture post.

i think it's a matter of personal taste which utimately you have to make the choice.

you know whats funny(well maybe not), is that I usually say the same thing. But Im will be choosing the rims myself, just looking for opinions. There are some rims that I have never seen or heard of such as the mugen rnr's.

Anyway I think Im gonna hunt for something that resembles those gram lights. That style look nice on accords.

everytime i see an accord a dark color dark gray or black, or a deep silver..even this green .. it makes me want to paint mine.

the wheels look sweet BTW. just a suggestion on a site to visit that has some sweet accords is http://www.accordracing.com

also accordingydone.com has good stuff to. it'll give ya an idea what a good variety of wheels look like on your car.

heres mine when i had my 18" Motegi MR7's. i think it looks descent.

Thanks for the help. I want to get the foglights that the green one has too. They almost look factory. Are they? If so where can I get a pair?
