Default Possible new rims.......

I'm lookin at getting these wheels... (see attachment below) Please give me your thoughts... and if anyone has them or similar ones on their car, please post a pic.

Now if I go with 18's, the suggested tire size for my car is huge (235/40-18), the overall height of the tire is 1.2" taller than my stock tires... A 225/35-18 would be identical to my OEM diameter... which is what I want.

What size tires has everyone used on their 5th gen accord, when running 18s?

Thanks!

i actually think they look more like an audi wheel......... navigator wheels are chrome, flat and have very large spokes.

I like how you chose a wheel with a polished lip, but not really feeling how the spokes look.

I think that the tire size you're supposed to go with is 225/40/18.

I like them...if they are your personality then go for them...its not really what we think its a matter of what you think and how you like them not what we think. I got mine for how I liked them and how they would look on my car and what my taste was. Go with that and you will enjoy them forever, I know I like mine and they weren't everyones pick on here. Just my 2-cents.

I personally like larger spokes that aren't set so far back. I don't think that they would complement your car very well.

If you want to stick with the lip, but possibly few spokes, check out the Konig Next. MackDaddy posted some pics here: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...d.php?t=115227
