Lightest 16/17 inch wheels for 01 EX 4ch Honda accord

trying to improve acceleration, any thoughts? V6 opinions would also be welcome. Any performance tire advice would also be good to have as I plan to buy those as well. Thanks for the help

What are you rolling on Now ??

I think Grip would be a lot more important than actually Wheel Weight, though that will factor in. A nice Z rated tire with racing tread will get you the best traction, but suck in the rain. And a 16" rim is optimum for Racing... Just get a Racing Alloy Rim,

of Course Engine mods will get you faster sooner.

How much are you wanting to spend, light weight rims are usually pretty $$$.. What price range are you in?

Check out Groupbuycenter.com for deals on wheels and tires. Sometimes they have some pretty light wheels in that price range.

16" Motegis give good performance at about 19lbs/each... if u really want light rims I like the 16" SSR Performance rims... 11.2lbs/each
