These tires.

I'm a total noob when it comes to wheels, and I know the larger the rim the rougher the ride alot of times. also I think I matched everything up right, and 42mm offset is right for our car right. If I remember right it was no less then 40 and no more then 45.

The wheels arent bad looking, white can be a tough color to pull off though. Ive never heard of those tires, so I cant comment.

White rims on a tan/titanium colored car might not look right, and I'd definitely stay away from no-name tires, very good chance they'll perform/wear horribly.

the wheels have been a bit overdone I see that style on everything today, if you weren't way out there i would give you these prism wheels i painted and machined but I still need two more, My wifes car is getting the teg sawblades and my car is getting the old school looking steelies of course. so these will be collecting dust probably.

Well I'm doing white, because I really do plan to repaint this car panda style. But IDK if I want to do white or black rims yet.

and I'm trying to think of another style that would look good.

O.Z. Superturismo WRC's look great in white, but are on the pricy side. If silver was an option, I've always liked MSW 'type 14' in 15", nice clean look, lightweight & cheap too:

Try tire rack.com. Select a make year and model. pick lxi hatch as it actually has a picture of the car. Then look through the wheels and when you see one you like click view on vehicle. A very cool site. The sedan and coupe dont have pictures.

Nay. I had wheels almost identical to that on my white 2g Prelude. It looked sharp but the ride was stiff, and when I switched over to racing coil overs it was terrible. You could feel every pebble in the road and pot holes would knock your teeth out. 17" tires are also much more expensive and selection is not that good. Stick with 15" wheels or maybe 16" if you like the big wheel look.

I really like my current "LS Mesh" (Integra) wheels. The PO painted them dark gray, which is not bad but some day I'll be repainting the whole car and the wheels so I really don't care what they look like right now.

well I don't like big rims persay, I just like low profile, flat wall tires, and I don't like the way smaller rims look low profile, so I might go with a 16.

they look good, better on a 4th gen then 3rd imo, i would go with 15s with a 205/50/15 tire

BTW feeling every bump in the road isn't bad to me.. my 03 civic EX was like that, but I didn't really mind it.

as for the rims and tires, white rims will be very hard to KEEP white, and I would vote against cheap, noname tires. Spend the extra few bucks and get good ones... I run proxis4's on mine. Also, I wouldn't go larger then a 16.

get an older set of aluminum rims or style up some older steelies, the new wheels just don't match the lines of these cars, I looked and looked and tried several different sets before I was happy with what i've got. Most of the rim designs today match these rolling egg shaped no style cars, these accords have more classic lines so they need an older style rim. Foose always had that problem, he would make a car look really great then slap on these big ugly ass chrome wheels and ruin the entire thing.

Yea those 17s are kinda big.

I think I'll stick with the 16...maybe 15.

just kinda hard for me to check everything out. :D never done new tires on any of my cars. and I just want it to look good.
