Default New Used Accord

Hello all.... i just bought a used 2004 Accord EX-L this past weekend and i am loving it.... i opted to get the 4 cylinder bc i don't need a V6 since the 4 banger has enough pick up for the city... i won't mod this too much bc i already HAD a souped hatchback and that thing is now resting in a junk yard bc it got wrecked... i plan of getting some new wheels, but i don't know what size will look good... i do not want to lower it bc the stock suspension is awesome...

to start off, i will get a full tint then get some wheels later on... i like the stock wheels but 16"s on this ride is ridiculous... they should have the exact wheels in 18"s as an option... but overall, the last 2 days of riding in it has been nuthing less than impressive...

here is a pic of my ride... you think 18"'s will look ok w/ stock height?

19s shouldnt slow you down much, unless you get some big heavy chrome wheels, and as long as you keep the outside diameter pretty close to stock. You just might not want to have a super low profile tire if the roads in your area are pothole infested.

Tint would definitely make your car look better. I got mine tinted about two years ago, after driving it for two years without tint. Looking back on it now, I dont know how or why I waited so long lol.

unfortunately i dont have any pic of my new rims as i had to take em off. u see winter up here is always around the corner (canada) ...
I did not lower the car ,, suspension is all stock ,,,
rims are gunmetal konig trouble with toyo poxies...
I do feel a little difference now that i switched back to 17's but i can live wit that.
what can i say ,, its up to you ,, if you like em big i'd say go for it.
check out cardomain.com ,,, thers lots of ppl wit 19's
