anyone seen some nice 18's for an accord?

this is terrible, my accord has 16's. I don't think i have ever had a car with 16's before. but they make such a difference in handling, for the worse of course. I want to find some nice 18's anyone have any suggestions? My accord is stock, 2001, silver, with spoiler and the rims are just gross! I don't want to lower it just put some 18's on, what do you think, is it even worth it?

He has a 2001 so it should be 5 lugs, unless he doesn't have a v6 which i think the car will come in a 4 lug bolt pattern. NOt really sure on that but should be 5 lugs

I have a 2001 V6 EX, its pretty nice, and i just got a spoiler. I would like to just upgrade the rims, i guess i don't need 18's cause i'm not going to lower it, I guess 17's with some decent tires will suffice. I used to have enkie RS-E on my old car in college and I liked them, to bad i sold them with my old car. My current shit rims are 5 lugs, does that limit my choice?

Contrary, you have more choices. 5 lug rims look better anyways.
Also, 17's without a drop and low profile tires will look homo. 17's drop, 18's don't drop.
I had a 2000 AV6 white with black widow kit.
BTW, I have ion tinted black housing headlights. They are sick and no one has them. Very rare. Sellin them for 125 for both. Let me know if you want a pic.

what would 17's or 18's have to with a drop ...if you buy the correct size tire you'll still have the exact same fender gap...that'll be exagerated by the larger wheels and low profile tires... you put some type S 17's with something like a 235/45/ hi performance tire with no drop and you'll be happier than the 16's and certainly the 18's would look way out of place IMO
