I have always liked the Accord but when the new 7th gen came around, that was just a pure gimme. And lo and behold, I think we got the exact same car Me personally, I would stick to 17s and really good tires, and then lower it just a tad. My own reason is because I use it for commuting purposes. In fact, I don't even know if I'm going to go with 17s because you lose a lot of the tire "shock absorbing" factor since there is less wheel wall. So maybe I'll stick to 16s.

So far, I have had the car for about two weeks and it has 1200 miles!!! See what I mean about it being a commuter?? hehehe...

I felt the same way when I got my Accord...but I'm I'll tell you...
Drop you car first. Then you will have a better idea of what wheels will look good, fit, etc. Plus...driving around with 18's with no drop looks wack.

Then go for 18's if you want bigger wheels. 17's won't look big enough for you on 6th and 7th gens. I have a 40 series tire, and it rides smooth. Just firm enough.

I guess just enjoy your car for now until some suspension components come out for it (if they aren't already out

).

Congrats on the new car, welcome to the board, and I'm jealous of your leather interior.
