I was looking for some advice on rims ill be buying my rims in a few days, I have the rims picked out but don't know what size I should get them I'm not a fan of huge rims so i was looking to put in some 16 or 17. I have a 94 Honda accord LX. And here are the rims ill be putting in. I will be putting in the satin black ones.

I haven't heard anyone call "Wheels" "Rims" for many years.
You must love the word "Rims" you wrote it 5 times in only 3 sentences.

So anyway, onto your question. If I understand you correctly, you are asking if you should get 16" or 17" wheels for your car.

I think the satin black is a great choice and for size I would say the 17's...although I think 18's esp in black do not look too large on our cars.

I say go with 17's with a nice lil drop. Just remember the bigger the rim the less gas mileage your gonna get

Yea thats what i was thinking on going on 17's. I also agree that the satin black ones was the choice I had to go with. I have been looking around and I think that those would look good on our cars. Thank you all for the advice it made my decision making a lot easier.

Rims LOL...

Talking 17" Rims Would Be My Choice Also... **

I'm a believer of the 17" rims also..The tires are much less expensive than 18"s and 19 " tires are way out of price..

I would recommend 16"s with 205/50/16 tires.

I like Dunlop Direzza DZ101.
