The bigger the rims, the more they weigh. Xtra lbs. on the wheels decreases your acceleration more than having a passenger in the car. Unless you are goin for show, no go.

That car is big. 17's would look small on it.. 18's are better... but the 19's look great because of their size..
Although, acceleration will suffer the larger you go. If you're just interested in show... go with the 19's... or add some forced induction to make up for the slowness
Don't forget... tires are WAY more expensive on 19's.
Unless you can afford it.. don't bother with 19's.

Well, I have 17's on my 97 accord and they are fine. It is dropped 2.5 and i have 45 series tires. It looks good, but if you want to go with 18's, i reccommend 40 series tires b/c it looks better. Anything over 18's on an accord looks bad, but that's just my opinion
