Rim picture

Ok, i wanted to get these rims, MR7's of course, and i found this picture of a car just like mine on the internet. He has 17" MR7's and his car is lowered. is it jsut me or do these rims look WAY too small for the car? I think i might have to start looking at 18" rims, what do you guys think?

Accord17, I like it. I've got 17" Enkei 6 spokes like those and that car looks just like mine. I'm going to go with some springs/shocks when I get some $$ but that's about it. I don't want to slam it, been there, done that on my prior car. It's still my daily driver. Cool, now I know what it will look like lowered, minus 1 spoke per wheel.

that white Accord looks very unnatural.. You sure it isnt PSed?

17-18" is good for an Accord.. But performance wise, 18s are out of the question..

I'll be taking pics of my car in a couple of weeks.. So you'll see.. 17s with a moderate drop is the ideal IMO..
