the 8th generation looks a lot more beautiful with 20 inch rims.nothing more,nothing less.but 18's are beneficial in ways that 20's aren't.

ya the only thing is that they dont come in 20s,oOnly 19's and 18's. And the 18's cost 145 each and the 19's 175 each. which leads me to my next problem what kind of tire to get.

does anyone have any idea how much the stock 18" 08 Accord rims weigh? I'm interested in changing my rims but don't want to add weight to my car.
