I would say 4-5 spokes. Spaced out spokes is nice.

I's say get a set of 16" Rota Slipstream's... they are clean and look really good on black cars...

Whatever suits you best, man, go for it. I had always been a fan of 7 spoke rims, but still, that's just me. Get whatever you can afford and suits you right. Good luck.

those are nice, i went with these bad boys for my 89 dx, they looked the most "ricey" to me, i was never much of a import guy till i got this car, but its really grown on me since i bought it to get me to work and back and not suck gas and my wallet dry! ... oh yeah the rims

1hot89: Are those Demonyas? I was thinking about a set of those on my other car, except the ones with the black lip so all you can see is the star.

Those Rota Sub-Zero black are reminiscent of the Nismo Series...

These would look very nice on black -What made you decide on black instead of that blue color.

In either silver or gunmetal

These are my favorite in either black or silver- Plus they are lightweight.

The reason I like the rims I posted are for a couple of reasons. First off, I like the lightweight rims mostly. The other reason is that since the front fender on our generation of accord has a wheel well flare. The thing about the flare is that it always makes rims with a lip look better on our car than rims where the face is more prominent than the lip. Although if you have a rim where the face blends into the lip, it really depends on the side profile of the rim. Rims where the face sticks out farther than the lip never seem to look right asthetically on our cars. At least that is my self study of the issue on rims.

no they are neeper daggs, and i think they make my car look pretty "spiffy" im not sure mine are super light though, but with my tires, i do take off a lot faster, my stock shit sucked
