Lol. I doubt it. I had the 20" off for about a month, and just put them back on maybe 2 weeks ago (minus one rim since it needs a new tire). But anywho, car isn't accelerating like it used to. I need something that gives me immediate take off power!

Immediate take off power + Honda Accord = Oxymoron.

It takes a lot of power to spin big heavy wheels. Its called reciprocating mass. It also severely effects the over all handling of the car with the increased un-sprung weight.

My car is much quicker with the 15" snow tires on it than the 17" super sticky summer tires.

So...no need to keep looking at a v6 Accord then?

Not necessarily, you could do a 6spd swap, which a few member's have done, and have stated that it has resulted in improvement.

Of course doing a motor swap + 6spd swap would also get you better acceleration as well.

Guess I'd need to learn how to drive a 6spd huh? Lol

Lol, I aint trying to race. Just want some acceleration. I notice older cars, with bigger rims, taking off faster than me. It's like I only stand a chance when in D3.

Allen sockets work better, especially with a hammer to give swift sharp blows.
