hi, ive got a v4 black honda accord EX 08 and im thinking of getting new rims. The car is black and has a black interior and soon will have legal black tinted windows.
I'm thinking of getting rims under 1,000 dollars and im not sure if black rims with a chrome lip would look good but thats what i think will look good and i would like
some suggestions on what type of rims would fit in the stock honda accord tires because i dont want to be new tires if i dont have to.

its i4 not v4

black with the chrome lip looks alright..i have some on my car..but its up to personal taste..

dont use your stock tires..they wont fit..when you get 17s or 18s your going to need low pros

You'll need to transfer the tire pressure sensors to the new wheels so make sure you can do that. It's possible they may not transfer and new ones will be required. No idea of the expense but find out first.

lol you should read sinsta's thread that will give you an idea of what to get but like i told sinsta...EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD ON THE 8th generation as long as there more then 18" and lower the 20" and chrome will look beautiful,you can also go with black with a chrome lip,machine black,black,silver finish with chrome lip, and you can even put gunmetal with chrome lip...it just depends on the size and i love how 20's look on the accord(8th gen)

i think anything over 17 deserves low profile tires..i dont think it would look good without.

Mine are 215/35/18's and you can see a picture of them in my sig. Get 18 or 19's if you don't care about making your car fast
