if u planning on racing, go w/ a 15......much lighter. 17's look real good on accords IMO, but they can be heavy as hell....just make sure u get wheels w/ the right lug spacing and offset. i have 15's, and they look great

bigger wheels mean longer gearing (which the accord does not need), longer stopping or braking distances (which again, the accord does not need if you are using stock brakes) and more expensive tires...just keep that in mind when you are choosing your wheels/tires...

Does it make you sad to see my accord? I was just trying to help the guy out. My accord is not ricey I dont see know big wing hanging off the back of it. No 50 Hp decals all over it. You may say its ricey but I guess everyone has there own opinion of whats ricey. What does your Cord look like? There is a difference I started with a sleeper look but that got boring so why you got to call my car rice? Just cause I want my car to look good. I just saw your car your car is more ricey than mine white car with CF hood how played out is that and whats that sticker on your bumper or whateva?

Whateva I guess some people dont know rice when they see it. It wasnt his opinion it was a diss. I mean I posted my car 3 times on here 1 cause someone asked me to. 2 cause there is a section that says post pics of your car 3. to show the guy what my so called ricey car looked like with 17 he has the same car. Also if my bumper is ricey so are bags what performance do they provide besides show.

to you kind sir

i'm not fan of the bumper, but i think what makes it look ricey is that it's only the bumper with no sides or rear bumper kit. the headlights are ugly, but i wouldn't call it rice.

thanks call it ugly just dont call it rice because that is an opinion but calling it rice is a stupid lie. also with the rear and sides it limits you to going certain places and getting your car aligned and things like that. Its much easier to take the front bumper off then the whole kit when getting aligned or other work.
