I'd go with 18 cause the bigger you get, the more expensive the tires and the rougher the ride.

Go as big as you can while still keeping the same rolling diameter. I agree, 18" is a good size to go with. Anything bigger and you might as well trade in the Accord, buy a Cadillac, and "throw some D's on it."

then you can put the 22" chrome logo on the fender.

I always think it's funny when people advertise their wheel size on their car. I'm thinking about slapping a big 'ol 17" sticker on my quarter panel. Right next to the big VTEC sticker for my non-VTEC engine.

That VTEC sticker automatically gives you 20 extra hp!  Didn't you know that?!!

i was on the fence between a civic si sedan and my accord...had i bought the si, the first thing i would ahve done was remove the big-ass vtec sticker on it....

maybe i should put an S54 tag on my M3.

smaglik, I'd go with a huge S54B32 banners, front and back, in a gothic font and 12" 100-spoke lawn mower wheels. Don't forget the hydraulics :-D

As long as your M3 isn't Laguna Seca Blue etch away, that's really the only M3 color that matters.
