Default Anyone here with 14" wheels?

How is the handling and ride feel with 14" wheels? Also, what size tires are you using?

better ask the DX guys..just joking

you probably wont see a big cut down on weight with 14's

watch out the brake, most aftermarket brake upgrade wont clear the 14's

DX represent! (Well, Canadian LX, but whatever)

I'm running 185/75/R14s I believe, and I hate them. I can't find a decent set of tires I want in 14s. The ride is fine, I guess. The handling is horrible, but it may just be the tires I have right now. There is very little grip, I can squeal them just by taking a 90 degree turn at 35-40 KM/h.

However, steelie 14s are great winter wheels. I've never had any problems with ice and snow getting packed on, which is a nice plus up here.

185 70R14.... I have them and the car rides OK but the 15" are a lot better as there is a lot less tire flex and you still have an excellent quality ride

I'm not planning on do much to the Accord, just keeping it a daily driver. I have 195-60-14 Azenis on an Integra and it grips well. It's a little sluggish around corners compare to 15" wheels/tires though. Just wondering if it's the same with the Accord.
