Default Need help deciding on wheels...

I'm looking into getting a set of new wheels but unfortunately when I bought my 1996 accord lx a couple months ago, I put new tires on it and I really don't want to replace them just yet by putting on bigger size rims. I've looked into 15"motegi mr7 racing rims w/ 7 spoke, 15 " enkei rims with 9 spokeas well as American racing rims with 6 spoke and I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about these companies and their quality. I am a big fan of 5 spoke wheels but I am having difficulty finding anyin 15"size. Does anyone know ofany that are reliable and look good? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The tires size is 24.5 inches in diameter and it also says p185/65R15 on the tire itself. The wheel size is 15x5.5, 4 lug, 115mm bolt circle diameter. Thanks

Enkei are a very good reputable company, quality workmanship. Motegi is also very good. If I were you i'f either sacrifice those new tires and up the wheel size (16 looks very good, 17 is good as well, much more than that and the visual balance of the car could start to suffer), or wait till the tires needed to be replaced before buying new rims. Hate to see you spend good money on new, yet stock size rims now...just to toss them down the road when you replace the tires and decide to go up in size. That is of course if you want to go up in size anytime in the future.
