    My 5 spoke Rota's look pretty good for being 10+ years old!

    I like the looks of 99 CIVIC SI wheels or Prelude SI wheels.

    Re: What kind of rims would look best on a accord (hatch)

    i would avoid 18's like the plague. too big for our cars.

    I have a set of 17's, which IMO is the biggest anyone should go on the 3G. The car sits on 15's right now, which are the track and everyday rims

    EDIT: Here's a link to Steve's 'problem' with wheels. The first pic has 14" 2nd Gen Teg wheels. The rest, well... ...just read it, you'll see. He's done everything from 14" through 17" (the 17's are mine).

    Re: What kind of rims would look best on a accord (hatch)

    Well I look at different things when choosing rims. Some questions to ask yourself are: Is your car stock height? Do you plan on lowering it? Are you planning on repainting it in the future? Do you wanna have what everyone else has? Or do you want to be different and express your own style? Answering these questions should narrow down your choices. Do you have any pics of the car?

    Panasports on a 3gee? Isn't the 3gee a bit angular for those? Plus they're retarded expensive! Nice wheels though. I think they'd fit the 1gee a little better though.

    Either the Panasport or the very similar RS Watanabe 8 spoke:




    Not a 3gee, but very similar look:

    That's always what I've heard too, but surprisingly when I took my BMW from 16" wheels to 20" wheels I had no change in ride quality. It rode just as nice on 20s as it did on the stockers. The one exception was potholes.. they definitely gave you more of a jarring impact when you hit them heh. But regular ride quality was great.

    Re: What kind of rims would look best on a accord (hatch)

    thhese are the rims i had on mine before alignment wasted my fron two tires. i got alignment fixed now but dont have the money to get the two new tires. and its about winter so .they are superior brand cobra style rims and i really like them.the pic is really bad sorry its from one of my youtube vids. cause i coulldnt find thhhe old pics of thhe car with rims on it. wait i just remembered it. www.myspace.com/the_chewin . there are alot ofpics of my hatch and my two coupes ive driven over the last couple of years. i got both coupes still and parts. but they are kinda dis assembled interior wise on both. one runs hella good but has no exhaust from cat back annd 5th gear is out. its llxi othher is carbed with blown head gasket and dissasembled interior. i could get the interiors bothh assembled and lookin ok. but im missin a drivers or passenger window on each . thought id throw thaat out there in case anyone wants a coupe or parts. i live in yakima washington like 2.5 hours from seattle
