Default What would look good on a 5th gen accord?

Im also considering the efficiency on lightness.

Im rolling on 18inch Work..but im looking for 15/16inch rota c8s as my beater. Should I go with 15s or 16s? Im reason im going to smaller is to maximize the h22a for awhile. The heavy *** 18s are butt slow. haha!

Should i go for 15s cause they're the lightest (but too small for the car) or go for a little heavy 16 ( cause they give more justice to the ride's look with 45 series tires)

Opinions..

I'm just going to say 16s b/c 15s do look too small on an accord. you have an h22 swap dont worry

really depends on rims

some 17 are lighter than 16 and even some 15

rota are cheap but they aint the lightest.

15 is kinda too small imo, get 16's for daily driving

If u really want light weight & bigger rims...i wouldnt get 15s at all, seems like you lowballing or something...17s are PERFECT in my opinion. Some 17s are lighter than MOST 15s & 16s. The 17inch Velox PG-5s are only 12.5lbs each rim. but its gonna cost $1800 for a set. I just bought a set of Velox vx6-r's....they're only 16.5 lbs a rim. A lot lighter than my old 17s, and that concludes a lot lighter than your 18s (if u want pix let me know)

Do Rotas make 15" C8s in 4x114.3mm pattern? I know the 16" comes with the 4x100 and 4x114.3. I think 15" would look just fine.

Well I saw them here on H-T. Are they 16s or 15s? The reason im going for 15s is not to pimp out, but make the most out of the engine at a really cheap cost without going steelies or somethin' hehe!

I drive a black 5th gen too.

I'm pretty sure those are 16". My old set of 15" C8s had dual 4x100 bolt pattern. I'm actually thinking about putting 14" on my 5th gen Accord. I have a set of 14" on my Integra and they look fine.
