one bit of adivce: DON'T DO IT!!!! that is unless you like to look like a dork. Nothing screams I'm trying to be cool but don't have any money like big rims and no drop. It's just the way it is, it never looks good.

i like big rims and no drop on those monte carlos, caprice classics, and what not.

i've seen it done on a 5th gen accord, too by this chick.

I think it's fine. If you got some real nice chrome, it'll look real nice and ghetto jacked up like that.

in all honesty, i like the nice and ghetto look. i've pondered getting a set of chrome rims just to change off and on every weekend like my shoes. don't want to ride around on chrome all the time b/c of the unwanted attention of potential thieves. but it would be nice to bling every now and then.

hey, if you want a drop for cheap, I got some Eibach Sportlines on my '97 sedan that I'll be letting go real soon (as soon as my H&R OE Sports get here). Probably only $100+ shipping if I can turn a quick sale.

its the dad, also the buyer of my car, that is 100% against both 18s and lowering.. he's fine with a body kit but , none are out for the 03 accord that i know of yet..and i dunno how a body kit + 17s w/out lowering would look

So your dad bought the car for you? If so your best bet would be to get some nice oem wheels like Acura Cl-S or Tl-S 17s. Those would probably look ok without a drop.

That is a good option if you aren't going to drop.
