Default Which rim size is better for a 98 accord coupe v6 19" or 20"

I just bought a 98 accord coupe v6 and was looking for an advice for a rim size. I was wondering which size will look better on my accord 19" or 20" I liked the wheels below. So help me decide before I go and buy them next week. Thanks

Are you going to be dropping the car at all?

I'm gonna have to say the 19" from my experience in the Real World, this is because of the real dips in the roads, the speed bumps in parking lots, the pot holes in the roads , if you have pot holes and for many other obvious reasons which are to numerous to explain...19" wheel with 225/35/19 tires, camber kits if your alignment man says you need them and a set of great Struts and springs..

The motegi 12 looks good in chrome...I like them and the price is usually not to high...

20's? man, you're gonna be riding like an SUV
bigger rims will wear out your shocks faster, and you wont be able to drive people because your stock suspension will bottom out and then rub on the tires
with your choices, i would go with 19's cause its smaller, but i prefer to go with 17's or 18's and then drop the car for a better look, i hate riding so high

I would recommend 19's. Below is a picture of my 99 accord with 19 inch Motegi FF7's and K Sport Coilovers. It's lowered just enough for my liking. My front bumper is 3.5 inches off of the ground!!! Sick huh?

I would say 18's. On mine I think I would barely fit in 18's since its too low and if I went bigger it would rub. It all depends on drop level and taking consideration on speed bumbs and all that because you dont want to be scraping your exhaust like me...

Well Thunderx, I just put on the rims and coilovers yesterday so I haven't changed the oil yet. My dad owns a car lot and has his own lift. I have to drive my car up on 2x4's and then put the lift up under it. It's sort of a pain but the look is worth it!
