Pic Request - 17 and 18 rims on a NON-lowered TSX

gday all...

thinking of getting some 17 or 18 inch rims on my '06 accord euro...but i don't want to lower the car at all...

was wondering if you could all post pics of ur cars with 17 or 18 inch rims on them if they aint lowered...i'd just like to get an idea of teh appearance...

if u could also be kind enough to post details of rims n tyres....


cheers...

and ok, maybe a few pics of my car for your enjoyment...look at those ugly stock 16inch rims...

On a 17" wheel, just make sure that you pick one without a lip as it will make the wheel look much smaller.

Many reasons, and I'm with him.

Corn Flakes, I've got the same problem you do. Check out my thread on "wheels under $1k" for some info. I'm now willing to go over $1k and I'll get 18's, I just need something that looks better than my stock wheels.

Nice ride corn_flakes. I like the shift knob. I don't know how the hell you guys shift with your left hand! I'd be getting some serious grindage for a while.

bahhahaha nope...

everything is exactly the same...it's just the side that u sit on...

gears are also the same, 1st gear on the left, ending with 5th and reverse on the right...

and yeh, over here we have 3 options for the accord euro/tsx...

standard - what i have....no HID, no sunroof, 16" rims, no leather, no fogs, no curtain airbags..

luxury - leather and etc, with optional satnav

euro sport - the equivalent of the euro R, but with the same spec engine

I just checked and I never even knew Advan made something so similar.
Damn... $450ish per wheel? I knew they were pricey, but that's some serious cash for rims.

I guess these are knockoff's

I'm really saving up for coilovers and then 18" G-Games 77W's.
