Default Decided on Rims.

I reallylike the Tenzo R ZT-6's, but just can't decide if going from the 17" to the 18" is worth $160? any thoughts or comments

Check out tire prices too, they usually jump up with the wheel size. Larger wheels means less rubber to protect those rims from pothole damage if you have lousy roads in your area.

Personally I think anything over 16" looks silly, but's thats just me. Big, heavy wheels = poor handling, decreased acceleration, increased braking distances, etc...

The bigger the wheel, the better it looks. Go for the 18, I'm getting some chrome ones in January. Yea, I know they're heavy, but I dont race so I really dont care, going for str8 looks!!

But yea, the bigger the rim, the more the tires are going to cost.

Pics? I say go 18's, Accords can only benefit from a bigger wheel... that is if you don't track your car etc.
