Hey guys, I have a 4dr 2K black Accord (6-Cyl) it's dropped and i want some wheels. I was thinking about the Katana C7 or C6, ADR GT Sport or Enkei RS6. What do you guys think?
Also, i heard that i must have atleast a a 45 Offset (since my car is lowered), and it's hard to come by a 45 offset in a 17inch wheel, so i probably will git 18's. Is there any technical info. i need to know when looking for or buying wheels for my car? Thanks for your help.

 

how to match up overall diameter so the speedometer reads correctly is one thing you should consider...

 

good point...thanks

 

actually +42 offset is good offset for 17's

 

I would really get 18's if you are getting the wheels to make your car look better. 18's do a much better job of giving the "large wheel" look to your car. 17's are ok for older Accords, but our cars are big with big wheel wells. 18's will look the best. I considered 17's, now I'm very glad I got 18's. Ride, handle fine.

 

offset works with rim width, so you need to keep both in mind. you say 45 is good to have, but it won't work if the rim width is 8.5" or wider. 45 is the lowest you should go with 8" wide rims with 225 tires...if you got 8 with 235, you should consider going higher. however, 45 should be more than enough for a 7" or 7.5" wide rim using 225 (or narrower) tires. but pretty much, a 50 offset on widths from 7" to 8" using a 225 tire would be perfect!!!

like kleanaccord said, getting tires that will produce a rolling diameter as close to stock as possible.

seeing if the wheels come with an additional bolt pattern so it can fit more cars.

getting hubrings to fill in the gap between the whee's center bore and the car hubs...helps toensure the wheel spins round and provides more surface contacts.

getting lugs that fit the studs and sockets that fit the wheel openings.
