Thinking about new rims-what brand? Need advice, please!!
Well, I'm back to you guys for some good advice, as always. Admittedly, I know jack squat about rims. I have no idea what brand is a "good" brand. I don't race my car, just to work and back and around town, but I want something that is nice enough that when I go to a meet, I don't get laughed at. 
What do you all recommend and how much should I expect to pay? By the way, I have 205/60/16's on my Accord and may consider going up to 17's, but would probably stay at 16's. Any advice on that, as well? Thank you in advance!!!

Well you probably need to decide on a few targets, what price range $500-1000, $1000-1500, $1500-2000. Also what style and color do you like, a few spokes , many spokes, branching spokes etc. I suggest looking through the wheel gallery to find a style you like and then people can find a similar wheel that fits your price range. Also go for 17", they'd look great! 
but you'd need new tires too.

They have a few nice ones, but like I said, not really sure what I'm looking at!! P.S. Tirerack has my car, but not the stock rims shown or the color.

The Konig Troubles peaked my interest when I saw them on a car last month.

It all depends on what color your car is - I think these would look sweet on a Carbon Grey or even Black.

If you aren't sure what wheels to get, your best bet is to just get something kind of generic and not too flashy. Some simple 20" chrome spinners will do.
