Sounds like you want people to "notice" your car. I guess it depends on what kinda reaction you want. Chrome wheels and a gaudy kit will get one reaction, and a clean ride with subtle modifications will get a differerent reaction. I guess you have to decide what reaction you want. I know what reaction I'd prefer. 
In the end, it's your car, so do what you like. But just remember what kind of attention you want.
As far as wheel size goes...if it was me, driving in NYC on a daily basis, I'd get 18's.
Take a look at these two cars, basically the same car, but look what a difference the wheels make. I love one car, MrChads, and the other one is ruined by the wheels in my opinion. Anyway, it might help you decide. They are even your color. 


Both the WW kit, but MrChad's has the OEM skirts.
My fav 6th gen coupe is Drag-on's. Oem kit, with 18's.

To me, that car looks agressive, without "trying" to look aggressive if that makes any sense. Just a great drop, OEM kit, great 18" wheels, etc. Oh and a lot of go-fast parts you can't see too.
Hey S-Dawg,
Thanks again for your input....yeah, I guess what Im after, since I can't get a "head-turning," "attention-grabbing" big four door sedan with huge OEM chrome wheels of some kind (such as the awesome 17's on Chrysler's 300M) right now, is to have my Accord more noticed by everyone around me---being the body style is played out and old already; lets not forget, as car enthusiasts, that stylish sports coupes have very short shelf lives---what is hot right now will be dead within a year after purchase. And so it was with my Accord Coupe. So now, I need to modify her to dress her up in these days of much more aggressive cars around me.
You know, ever since you dropped pictures of Mr. Chad's red coupe on this message board for me, I have loved the car. Only, to me, from certain angles, it looks like Chad's car is not even lowered---that pic you supplied above, showing his car from head-on, makes it seem like the car isnt lowered---she still looks like she is sitting on stock height. Plus, I dont have those side door mouldings that he has...does this matter?
And YES, those chrome wheels in the second picture look like ASS---those rims suck donkey nuts, big time---they TOTALLY ruin the look of the car. I wouldnt go for chrome wheels like those; I would go for some kind of spoke or star design---NOTHING that those...those are awful, kid!
Drag On's coupe is hot. I guess thats what mine would look like with 18's, but with some kind of chrome wheel. So, you really say stay with the OEM kit and OEM trunk wing? They are "aggressive enough" even when driving around pricks in their Lexuses, Bimmers and perhaps some kids in their turboed-out Eclipses and Supras with wings so high you can hang laundry on them?
