Out of those, the MR8 for sure. I really don't like the look of lots of spokes, especially on a 4th gen accord. Just MHO.

Moo.

I have to agree with 94_AcCoRd_EX, MR8.

One more thing... rims with a big lip such as the mr8's tend to look smaller than they really are (unless you get 18s). Just something to consider.

If you're definitely getting one of those two, I'd have to vote the mista15....I'm just not a fan of wheels where the spokes come in at the edges....I prefer a more flush look, like the mr15.

Tantrums do look good, though.

More importantly, which ones do you think look better on your car?

i've seen a car just like mine color and everything with the mr15 and i say it would look dope. i say the mr15's are a better match for my car, alkthou i prefer mr7's but they are 500 more expensive for the whole package with tires and balance.
