Default Which rims for the 03 coupe?

Hey guys... so I think I found a set of wheels that I want for my 03 v6 ex coupe... tell me what all your opinions are. I put a deposit down on them, so I think the decision has already been made, but i'd love opinions.....

18" axis seven mods?

I like them a lot. Definetely some of my favorite wheels right now for our type of car.

Please drop that new Accord before you put them on though.

Yeah, I think it would look bad if I didn't lower it as well. I'm just wondering if I should wait to get the $$ together to do both at the same time or do one at a time as I get the $$....

I suggest you drop the car first, since drop comes before anything. There is nothing worst than 18"s on stock height. That is no good. So drop first, then wait about a month until your springs completely settle in and then get the rims. I would do that if i had money for rims.

Why wait?

you dont necessarily have to wait, but your springs will settle for about 2 weeks. So i think you should slap on the rims after the springs are completely settled. That is upto you tho, but i would do that.

Sorry to ask again, but you didn't really answer my question: WHY wait, not how long....

I think he's saying if they settle, then you'll have a better idea of where the car sits, if certain offsets or tire widths will rub.

But like he said, you'd probably be fine either way. Just don't put those 18's on before the drop.
