Default Right size rims for my car

Needing some other accord drivers input,

I am now looking for some nice rims for my white 2003 accord coupe ex. I have norrowed it down to two different styles. Chrome rims or all black rims with a chrome ring around it. But I can not determine which size rim to get. 18, 19, or 20? I have heard alot of bad things about 19 inch rims, so wouldnt that make 20 inch rims just as bad? I DO NOT plan on lowering my car. Im scared 18's would look to small on the accord. But i do wanna fill in the gap between the wheel and the fender.

I'm seeking advice from people who have already been through this.

No matter what size you get, if you do it properly you will NOT fill the gap between the wheel and fender. Upsizing your rim means a smaller profile tire, meaning the same altogether diameter of the wheel/tire. 18"s will most certainly NOT look small on an '03 Accord. I have 17"s on my '06 and I get comments on them from time to time.

I say 17" or 18". And remember that tire price tends to get higher the bigger the rim.

Oh, and what color is your car? If it's anything besides black, go with straight chrome. Black rims on not black cars looks awful, in my opinion.

I have a White coupe. Kinda dull lookin now but when spring comes it WILL be detailed and waxed.

Preciate the input Briggz. My buddy has the 06 civic with 18's on it. For some reason in my eyes since the accord has a bigger body, his 18's on my accord would look small. Maybe i wont know for sure until i see something on my car other than stock.
