they would be killer. The wildcards on now look cool too.

 

hehe yeah..i still like the wildcards, i can sell them for $500 or $550 haha, if i do get those rims, i would prolly throw my stock taillights back on my car, but for now, i like 'em as is.

 

what size are the wildcards? 16"?

 

17z!!!! hahaha, damn 16s on an accord looks so goofy man! well thats my opinion ^_^

 

perhaps for you 4 door punks.

 

I like the ones you have on now, but I think the new ones would look better.
nah 16s are big enough for me.. plus lighter and cheaper

 

anything bigger than 16's are ghey stunna bullshit

 

w3rd up y0!

 

paint your moldings
theres a lady at my apt complex that has the same accord, same color but special edition
all of her modlings are painted including the sideskirts, front lip and rear lip, and a stock spoiler. looks clean

 

Why???

 

what about the rims that i had?? and we all know i aint no stunna!!

 

get them, they'll look sweet on your car

 

because they are 'tizzite', plus its absolutelly functionless, and we all know stunnas only go for fake-me-out looks only garbage

 

Exactly. 17s+ are for monster brakes on race cars thats see very high speeds. JTCC etc

 

super duper speed and power, which none of us here has

 

When I talked to the RTR guys at Lime Rock they had switched from 16s to 17s to accomodate bigger brakes and the difference was noticeable to them and they were disappointed in them in the acceleration they lost but had to sacrifice it for stopping power.

 

people dont understand that the I=MR^2 the most important part of this is not so much the M part but that r^2 will get you everytime

 

17s are perfect for an accord that is, im not sayin i would go with 17s on any car....for civics and integras, i would only get 15s or 16s... and i aint no "stunna" u dun see an aluminum wing nor stickers on my car. although u see "atlezzas", i still have them b/c it flows good w/ my car.
if i get those vx8s, i would change them back 2 stock...since it wouldnt have that "dark" appeal 2 it.

 

now i agree with this statement but for my big\slow *** 6th gen accord, 16's just look plain funny. i have 18s on there now and they look alrite but i sacrificed speed for looks. if i had a better drop and some 17's i would be happier but there is just no way it would look rite with 16's. what would you put on a gth gen coupe? if i could purchase wheels all over again i would have gotten 17 inch rh cp-035\rota subzero in gun metal or black or maybe some bronze wheels. but i bought my wheels b4 the almighty honda-tech.com knowledge entered my head and i was stunna'd out.

sorry for the long jabbering post.
btw.... those wheels would look nice on ur ride.

I think if you do it right you don't sacrifice a thing. I just got some 5zigen 17's which are 16.5 lbs vs 22 lbs for my stock 15" wheels. The circumfirance difference of the tires is only +2% and I now have a much larger contact patch. I don't see how that is going to make me slower!

My butt dyno showed a slightly improved accelleration and a drastic improvement in handling.

 

if this is a question related to wether or not those wheels are economical and functional for your car than the answer is no. You sacfirfice acceleration, fuel mileage, suspension geamoetry, etc.

if this is a question on wether or not they look good, than there is another forum for that called Appearance/Cosmetic where this question will have the feedbck you are looking for.

 

nice I have those in 18's. Also I think 18's are perfectly fine for looks. i obviously wouldn't go auto-x with them, thats what my 16lb prelude rims are for.

 

rockin the 15's is that only way to go for me. lightest availible.

 

In my opinion i friek'n love those wheels, i would definetely go with 215-40-17 but if they make them go with 18's, remember most of the time and in this case bigger is better.
