you should get 16s, accords are slow enough as it is

I echo the above, but if you insist on 18" you can view some affordable rims at http://www.wheelmax.com

Accords look good with 18's when lowered but they sit way too tall while on stock springs, and it does slow your car down alot. I have a v6 and it makes a major difference from when i put the 18's on and when i put the prelude wheels on. Just depends what you are wanting to do.

take it from me, i HAD 18s and i went back to my stocks. I noticed quite a difference from the heavy *** 18s to the lighter oem 15s. but then again, i like the stock look. Go with 16s max if i were you. on some good suspension and lower it nicely and you will be good!

I went with 18's and a 1.5 inch drop, and i personally dont go back to stock unless its snowing, I think it looks way better than stock, and im more than willing to sacrifice some time on my zero to 60. Im not a racer anyways. I'm more the kind that uses the back seat
