    Here's my coupe when I was on SI's. One of the best looking OEM wheels for the Accord in my opinion.

    personally im going to be bias and i like the 205/50/15 that just means they are wider and have a slimmer profile and the 195 and more narrow with a bigger profile. if lowered the 205 look bad ass.
