    I looked at those wheels too. I also like the Monetgi (sp?) MR7 in a gunmetal here locally. They look very similar and are a little cheaper.

    Looks nice though.

    Those are the wheels I am running.....they are silver tho, I don't really like the gun metal. Mine are 18's.

    I think those rims are tight man. My friend has those on his 97 civic.
    If you want them to CHOP CHOP when you drive, I wouldn't go over 7 spokes.

    my friend has the MR7's in gunmetal on his corrolla ..16's his car is a dark red and the rims look tight as hell... but Bob... those rims are really nice... I like them a lot and they are at a good price too... I almost paid $165 each for the enkies that I wanted... (before I bought my ALT's) The one thing that I noticed when I switched to 205/40-17 from stock was that my accelleration did decrease... I have way more traction but not as much pick up... nice choice in rims though... if you decide to get them post picks....

    well its 114 for the 16's. and its 140 ish for the 17's// i cant decide if the extra inch is worth 100 dollars... lol...

    whats the consensus? do 17's look better than 16's on this car? it will be lowered eventually, but prolly not any time soon! i prolly wont be able to lower it for another 6months....

    I'll agree that the 17 do look better. But in my little world, with the way I drive, 15's and even 16's make more sense. That is from a ride and drive standpoint, plus looking at what is run on cars that are run in a competitive sense. I'll repeat that I do think some of the nicest lookig accords here, happen to be sittin on 17's.:p

    He's gotta be talking about the sound they make if you drive around town with the windows down. Ain't no way he's talking about how they ride.
