torn between rims ): (pics inside)

[jaw819]

so, my birthday is coming up pretty soon. august 19th. it'll be my 17th birthday. and im looking into getting rims. i'm torn between 3 options.
first of all, im stuck on size. 17s or 18s? they both look good, IMO. i still cant decide though.
im sitting stock at the moment, also looking into a potential drop. like i said, im 16, still trying to pay off my car. moneys tight. im not too concerned about performance, to be honest. i just want looks for now. so im also stuck between saving to get full coilovers, or if i just want springs. i looked into the sportlines..
but, as far as the rims go.
option 1 - wheelfire off brand(i think?) rims.
option 2 - Drag dr 21.
option 3 - KMC rockstars.

with the wheelfire rims, its whatever.
with the drags, i like them because they resemble the RPF1.
i know its not the same with a replica, but im not ready for a 5 lug conversion, etc. and i like the fact that the drag comes in gloss black with a chrome lip.

now, the rockstar. im in love with them. here in the south, trucks are everywhere. whatever. i love my honda.
many trucks have the rockstar rims on them. well from my understanding, they recently developed the rockstar style rims for cars. they're a bit different, but the fact that they're rockstars is just, awesome to me. lol.
i love them. and so does everyone else.

the drag, i'd get in a 17. it'd be i believe 17x7.5.

the rockstars, smallest made is a 18x8.

then i dont know what tire size to get on 17s or 18s with that width.
im stuck.
opinions, help, etc.
thank you.

my accord. 2000 ex 4 cyl 5 speed. (moms old 7th gen coupe. now drives a black 8th gen coupe. lucky...)

the drag dr 21.

and the rockstars.

rockstars in comparison to rockstars made for trucks, lol.

help meee!

its hard to pull off nice looking rims on any silver car

 

[almightyfargoth]

whatever you do, stick with coilovers and please don't get those rockstars.

I dunno....bad times.

whats wrong with the rockstars, and what kind of coilovers?
im leaning towards coilovers anyway,

 

[almightyfargoth]

the Rockstars just look more at home on a truck or off road vehicle, too blocky and the star in the middle would bother me on a Japanese car.

for coilovers, there's a huge number of opinions on different brands in multiple threads on here. Search around.

I'd go with those dr 21's and then just lower the car a lot, it would look good.

I think with that width you could probably go with a 215 tire and you wouldn't have much trouble clearing the fenders when you drop it.

lol. i just love them. and i know it sounds lame, but id get soo much respect from all the honda haters here, which is like everybody.. :/
it really sucks, everyone always hates on my car. and looks down on me.
i drove dads titan to school one day, and i swear everyone i passed said hey, or smiled, or waved, or something lol.

but yeah, i like the dr 21s.
and btw, love the sedan. one of the cleanest ive ever seen, lol.

 

[almightyfargoth]

yeah I mean if you like them then you should get those, but don't base dropping that money just to appease haters around you.

haters are a lower form of humanity, a plague to be wiped out.

and thank you my friend

 

[jaw819]

this is true.
i just, like them. lol.
im leaning towards the drags.
would 18x8 be too wide for my car?

you're quite welcome.
ya know, i always wanted a 6th gen. and for the 8 months i spend trying to find one, i used to admire yours and Sleeper Cell's, and 00accord4cyl's all the time, haha.

 

[almightyfargoth]

haha nice, I have stalkers.

yeah, 18x8 will be fine. You could still drop it a good amount with that size.
